Chattanooga Police are investigating a home invasion and shooting that occurred Sunday around 11 p.m. at 1008 North Hawthorne St.
The two victims, Marcus Robinson, 27, and his girlfriend Lakasha Hughes, 24, were watching television when there was a knock on the door. Mr. Robinson opened the door thinking it was a neighbor, but the person at the door put a gun to his head.
Two suspects entered the apartment and threatened to shoot. The armed suspect pushed Mr. Robinson into the kitchen and took money from his pockets. As the suspect started to leave, Mr. Robinson ran towards the bedroom and was shot in the left arm by the armed suspect.
Both suspects fled the scene and EMS and police were called. Mr. Robinson was transported to Erlanger and treated for a gunshot wound and released.
The armed suspect is described as a black male, 16-22 years old, about 5’5”, 150 pounds, wearing a mask and a red hooded sweatshirt. The second suspect is described as a black male, 15-16 years old, wearing khaki pants and a white hooded sweatshirt.
The investigation is still open and detectives are following up on possible leads.
