Tekeia “KeKe” Michelle Clay, 49, was killed in the incident. Ms. Clay was a Kirkman School graduate who worked in the bursar's office of Chattanooga State.
Wofford was in the news in July 2020 when federal agents and local police said they went after a man suspected of being involved in multiple local gang-related shootings. They said Eric Woods got away, but his associate Wofford was captured.
Law enforcement carried out a search in East Ridge and found a high-capacity drug magazine loaded with .223/5.56x45 caliber ammunition, a loaded 40 round rifle magazine and loose ammunition.
Wofford, who was 18 at the time, was sentenced to served 18 months in federal prison.
