A Chattanooga man facing a possible death sentence in connection with the killing of Bianca Horton appeared in court Monday, as the state prepares for trial almost nine years after her death.
Andre Grier, 38, is charged with a series of crimes including first-degree felony murder, tampering with evidence and coercion of a witness.
Horton, 26, was a witness who planned to testify against a local gang member, Cortez Sims, who shot and killed Talitha Bowman, injured Horton and a second man and paralyzed Horton’s baby during a 2015 shooting at College Hill Courts.
Grier, Courtney High and Charles Shelton were all charged in Horton’s death.
