One of two suspects in Frazier Dr. homicide transported back to Hamilton County
Shaina Hughes, 18, of Resaca Georgia signed a waiver of extradition in Gordon County Georgia and was immediately transported back to Chattanooga where she faces one count of first degree murder and one count of aggravated robbery.
She was arrested in Gordon County Georgia for a probation violation out of Chattooga County Georgia.
According to Chattanooga police, Hughes and Quincy Goodine, 19, are suspects in the murder of Peyton Hogan 21, of Chattanooga.
Hogan died in an ambulance while being transported to the hospital.
It happened Friday morning inside a home in the 400 block of Frazier Drive.
According to the arrest affidavit, witnesses told police, Hughes and Goodine were responsible for killing Hogan.
Hughes told investigators she was in the basement when Hogan was shot. She also told police she heard the gunshot and looked up to see Goodine holding a gun.
According to Hughes, Hogan was not armed nor was he a threat when he was shot.
When investigators talked to other witnesses, they got a slightly conflicting statement.
A witness told police, Hughes was actually upstairs when the the shooting occurred. The witness also stated that Hughes lured Hogan to the house to exchange sex for drugs and money. According to the arrest affidavit, Hogan used Facebook to communicate with Hogan.
A second witness told police, Hughes and Goodine attempted to rob Hogan in the basement. According to the second witness, Goodine hid behind the stairs of the basement then told Hogan to give him "everything he had." The second witness later stated to police that Goodine was reportedly armed with a .25 automatic pistol and shot Hogan once. The second witness also told police that Goodine and Hughes lured Hogan over to the house to exchange sex for 1.3 grams of Methamphetamine.
During a search of the house, police recovered .25 shell casing as well as a .25 automatic pistol that was reportedly hidden in the basement. Police also recovered illegal narcotics.
At some point, after the shooting, Goodine and Hughes left Tennessee and were later picked up by authorities in Gordon County Georgia.
Goodine remains in the Gordon County jail for an obstruction. It’s unclear if he has signed a waiver of extradition.
A judge set Hughes’s bond at $1-million.
Her next court date is November 24.
