Two more people have been charged in the June 29 slaying of Christopher Robinson, Chattanooga police said.

Robinson, 46, was shot and killed in his home in the 2300 block of Hickory Valley Road. The same day, police acting on a tip arrested Miles Hankins and charged him with criminal homicide and especially aggravated robbery, newspaper archives show.

At the time, Robinson's son told investigators he was playing a video game in his room when he heard a loud boom from the rear of the home. He saw two black males wearing hoodies and bandanas over their faces, coming from the kitchen toward the hallway leading to his and his parents' rooms.

One man pointed a gun in his direction, saying, "Give me all the money," but the son ran to his room and tried to alert his parents by yelling and banging on his bedroom wall. Then he heard a gunshot and what sounded like someone running out of the home.

Police spokeswoman Elisa Myzal said in a news release Thursday that Ticalvius Armour, 22, who is also known as Ticalvius Robinson, and a juvenile also have been charged with criminal homicide and especially aggravated robbery in the death.

Myzal said all the suspects in the case now are in custody.
