Patten Towers surveillance footage of the last few moments a man identified as Darryl Roberts walks up to Chris Wright and shoots him in the head, killing him.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (WDEF) – The suspect charged with the murder of a Baylor alum was back in court Thursday morning. 

Darryl Roberts has been indicted on first-degree murder among other charges in the September shooting death of Christopher Wright.

The incident occurred outside of Patten Towers after an argument that was shown on surveillance cameras in Roberts’ preliminary hearing.

The hearing was brief, as the case was adjudicated until May with no other actions taken.

Roberts has pleaded not guilty and is still in custody at the Hamilton County Jail on a $5 million bond.
