CHATTANOOGA (WDEF) – Genesis Latroy Vaughn has taken a plea deal for a double shooting almost three years ago.

Investigators say it happened after a drug deal on Highway 153.

They say Vaughn got into one vehicle and chased the family he had just done a deal with.

He fired into their car, killing Stewart Luttrell and injuring his wife.

A two year old in the vehicle was not harmed.

Vaughn faced criminal homicide charges but accepted a plea of second degree murder.

The deal gives him 23 years in state prison.
