Chattanooga Police are looking for information on a small black vehicle and its occupants possibly involved in two separate shootings Wednesday.

Just before 2 p.m., officers responded to 2100 Foust St. on a report of a person shot. Witnesses said a small black car came down 2nd Avenue and when it crossed Foust the rear passenger began firing in the direction of 1917 Foust.

Then at 8:30 p.m., police were on the scene of still another shooting at 2800 4th Ave. at the East Lake Market. Kevin Brown, 29, of 1105 S. Willow St. was shot once in the right wrist, right abdomen, upper right chest and upper left back.

Witnesses said a black man in all black clothing, hooded sweatshirt and a white mask approached the victim in the parking lot. Witnesses heard a single gunshot and the victim fell to the ground.

The suspect then went through the victim's pockets and shot him again.

Mr. Brown was taken to Parkridge Hospital where he was later transferred to Erlanger. He underwent surgery and is listed in critical condition.

The suspect was reported to have fled north on 4th Ave. and anyone with information is asked to call the Chattanooga Police Department at 698-2525.

In one of the afternoon shootings, Ronald Eugene Glass Jr. was standing on the sidewalk in front of 1917 Foust and was struck by one of the rounds fired from the black vehicle. He was transported to Erlanger Hospital, where he was treated for a minor gunshot wound to his lower abdomen. The injury was not life threatening and he was expected to be treated and released.

The second call was received just after 2 p.m. when officers were called to 1200 Grove St. on shots fired. When police arrived several witnesses said a small black vehicle stopped on Grove Street and someone inside began shooting.

Officers did not locate a victim. However, they did find evidence numerous shots had been fired.
Officers found shell casings on the street and were able to recover casings from surrounding buildings.

The investigators on the first shooting were at Erlanger when Roland Reynolds, 19, showed up and told them he was standing on a porch in the 1200 block of Grove Street when a small black car, possibly a Ford Focus, stopped and the right rear passenger fired 9 or 10 shots.

Reynolds sustained a single gunshot wound to the hand.

Chattanooga Police are looking for a late-model, small black vehicle, possibly a Ford Focus, Honda Accord or Saturn.

If anyone has information on this vehicle or either of these incidents, they are asked to call the Chattanooga Police Department at 698-2525
