Hamilton County deputies in January shot a Ringgold man 19 times, killing him, after the man led authorities on a chase stemming from a reported domestic dispute.
Tyler Lebron Roberts, 31, had his 18-month-old child in the car with him during the chase and shooting. The child was recovered safely, according to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation.

“Agent Keith Herron advised that the 18-month-old child sustained some fragment injuries but nothing serious,” an investigator said in a brief included in the report.
