A Chattanooga man has been sentenced to 25 years in prison for especially aggravated robbery in connection with the 2021 death of Alfred Pitmon, according to Hamilton County Criminal Court records.
Marvin Menifee, 21, was also sentenced Friday to two years in prison for criminally negligent homicide, and both sentences will run at the same time.
Pitmon, Menifee’s uncle, was fatally shot inside his Seventh Avenue home on Oct. 25, 2021. Pitmon, 48, was allegedly a marijuana dealer, which is why he was targeted, witnesses previously testified.
Menifee was with a group of four other people at the time, and he alleged someone else from the group was responsible for Pitmon’s death, according to an interrogation video shown during his March trial.
His sentencing hearing was held before Hamilton County Criminal Court Judge Boyd Patterson.
