Since 2013, activists say, Chante Raleigh's account has befriended more than 3,000 people, many of them suspected gang members, activists or young black men in Chattanooga, and regularly comments on news stories critical of the police department. Halfacre tends to comment directly on users' photos and has been operating since at least 2011. Both accounts appear to be black women who say they are from Nashville.

Isaiah Moore, 27, said he and a friend were debating a Chattanooga police officer on Facebook in September when Chante Raleigh mentioned an 11-year-old charge that Moore picked up as a minor in the comments. The charge had been dismissed, expunged and is not public record.

Chattanooga police spokeswoman Elisa Myzal would not confirm or deny whether an officer created Raleigh's account. "I'm not the Facebook police, so not sure which accounts on their platform are legit or fake," she wrote in an email.

Facebook has a policy against operating fake accounts, pretending to be someone else, or otherwise misrepresenting an authentic identity. That policy applies to citizens and police, and the social media company wrote the Drug Enforcement Administration in 2014, demanding agents stop hiding behind fake profiles.

Meanwhile, some courts have approved of the practice. In 2014, U.S. District Judge William Martini said New Jersey law enforcement didn't need a search warrant to go through defendant Daniel Gatson's Instagram account because Gatson had accepted a request to become friends with the undercover police officers.

Some see this as law enforcement doing their job and getting criminals off the streets. In Chattanooga, officers regularly scan Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat for possible crimes. A man and woman were arrested in July 2017 for attempted rape and aggravated sexual exploitation of a minor after officers saw a Facebook live video they made of the incident. And social media helps officers track "beefs" among street gangs, police have said.

The Lookouts said hundreds of dollars in merchandise and equipment were also stolen. Myzal said none of that property has been returned or located. She said police are reviewing security cameras in the area.

According to the arrest report, the case started against Carson on Wednesday when police received a phone call from the girlfriend of a shooting victim who has been identified as Ladarius Nollie, 23, of Chattanooga.

Since giving that testimony, the woman said she and Nollie have been receiving numerous death threats that have been posted on Facebook. The woman also told police she was receiving threats at her place of employment.

Police say Carson posted a news article on his Facebook page that talked about Jermichael Brooks in court. Next to the article, he reportedly posted a caption that said "Knock his ass off if he talks to police." Authorities say that means to kill a person who talks to police. Another caption said,"Free Blue Light," which police say is code for "free Jermichael Brooks."

Chattanooga police officers were patrolling the downtown area at about 10:58 p.m. local time when they heard the gunshots and immediately responded to help those who were injured, Chattanooga Police Chief Celeste Murphy said during a news conference on Sunday.

\"We're fortunate that they were able to respond as quickly as they did,\" Kelly said. \"But the job of preventing kids from shooting each other cannot fall to the brave men and women of our police department.\"

He said he is working with the police department and the local district attorney \"to enforce existing laws that hold parents accountable for knowingly providing or allowing children access to guns that result in violence.\"

Chen obtained legal counsel after his arrest in Williamson County and did not answer any questions from investigators, police said. Authorities said Chen would be transported to Hamilton County to be held in custody there.

The shooter is believed, but not confirmed, to be the same person. A few hours after the attacks, the unidentified shooter was dead. Aside from the four marines and the perpetrator killed, a soldier and a police officer were injured and are being treated in hospital.

The boyfriend of a missing 22-year-old Tennessee woman whose body was found on Thursday was charged with her murder on Wednesday after Chattanooga police said blood stains and other evidence were found in his apartment.

Putman added that police have told the family that Jasmine's phone hadn't been active since Nov. 23, though her social media accounts had been. The family hasn't heard anything else from her since she left that day.

During a warranted search that day, police say they found blood stains on the hardwood floor of Chen's living room, in his bathroom and on the bedroom carpet, according to the affidavit. Police also found recently purchased cleaning supplies. 2b1af7f3a8
