CHATTANOOGA: POLICE RAID THE WRONG HOME IN MURDER INVESTIGATION
Hours after a man was shot and killed at River City North Apartment Complex, Deborah Oakley said police forced their way inside her unit.
“I heard a loud boom, and when I heard the boom, I stepped in my living room I heard another boom, the loud boom, that’s when I seen all guns pointed at me,” said Oakley.
Police were looking for clues in the murder of Mohammed Sharifi. They said D’Marcus White shot and killed Sharifi, court records show Sharifi was selling his X-Box and White had plans to rob him.
When police arrested White, he gave them the wrong address, just one digit off, leading investigators to Oakley’s door.
“It was very scary, because I didn’t know what was happening,” she said.
Oakley said officers spent about 30 minutes searching her apartment and left a mess.
“It’s two days of work just to get everything back in order, but it took me a month and half to get everything back together,” said Oakley.
She said she got one of her cellphones back, but police have not yet returned the other items.
“They took two cellphones of mine, two tablets,” said Oakley.
