Chattanooga police have arrested a man who they say was paid to kill 31-year-old Quintez Bulloch in July.
Police had been called to the 2900 block of Lightfoot Mill Road just after 12:30 p.m. on July 30. There, they found Bulloch, a father of two, lying on the kitchen floor with a gunshot wound, according to Hamilton County court records. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Witnesses would later tell police that Bronathon Carter, 35, confessed to killing Bulloch and that he’d been paid to do it, court records state. The witnesses provided details that few people would know, investigators noted.
A search warrant for Carter’s phone revealed texts in which Carter talks about Bulloch, investigators noted in the criminal affidavit, and “even received a picture of Bulloch with a large stack of money within days of the homicide.”
By Dec. 10, investigators interviewed Carter at the Bradley County Jail.
