The man accused of shooting and killing a Chattanooga businessman last month outside Patten Towers passed a screening to stay at the downtown housing facility, a spokesperson for the apartment complex said this week.
Darryl Roberts, 57, is charged with first-degree murder in connection with the Sept. 28 death of Chris Wright, 38.
Roberts had experienced homelessness before he moved into Patten Towers in May, according to spokesperson Thomas Mulgrew.
The complex follows a screening process approved by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development that people must pass in order to become residents, he said in an email.
