CHATTANOOGA, Tennessee (AP) -- A man who sought safety from Hurricane Katrina in Tennessee was gunned down in the street and died, possibly during a robbery of his Red Cross relief money.
Don Maurice Airline, 24, of Metairie, Louisiana, was found on a secluded road with five gunshots to his head. Days before he was killed last week, the Red Cross gave him a debit card worth several hundred dollars.
Detective R. Kenneth Freeman said he knew of no other such killings of Katrina refugees and was sorry the shooting happened in Chattanooga, where the Red Cross, churches and social agencies are helping hundreds who fled Katrina.
