A Hamilton County jury on Monday found a man accused of driving the perpetrators to the scene of a shooting guilty of facilitating first-degree murder.
After almost three days of deliberations, Gary Cross, 28, was found guilty of driving a minivan to the East Chattanooga home where 28-year-old Tracy Calloway was shot and killed July 21, 2019.
Cross faces 15 to 60 years in prison, according to court officials. He will be sentenced June 1.
Jamichael Antron Smith, Antonio Dewayne Watkins and Prandel Fitzgerald Reid Jr. — all arrested Aug. 2, 2019 — were allegedly in the minivan Cross drove to Calloway’s home at the 4600 block of Trailwood Drive the day of the shooting.
Cross was originally facing first-degree premeditated murder charges, but the jury chose the lesser charge of facilitation of a first-degree murder. Jurors received a list of charges — which included the lesser charge — that they could can pick from during the deliberation process.
