Jeremy ReynoldsA trial date has been set for Jeremy Reynolds, a 29-year-old ex-felon, who authorities say fatally gunned down a Lupton City man in May 2013.
Reynolds, who was convicted of facilitation to commit second-degree murder in 2008, will stand trial Jan. 12, 2016. He faces charges of first-degree murder and possession of a firearm with a violent conviction.
Chattanooga police responded May 5 to 211 Mixson St. and found Wendell Washington shot to death on his front porch. Washington, 20, was wounded once in the torso, twice in the back and four times in the left arm, according to a medical examiner’s report.
A witness inside the Mixson Street home said she was opening the door for Washington when he pulled it shut, according to an affidavit. Yelling followed, then several gunshots.
Investigators later found several spent .45-caliber shell casings scattered around the scene.
