Investigators with the Chattanooga Police Department’s homicide unit have arrested 19-year-old Ricky C. Rogers for the shooting of Elijah Flemming on Wednesday night on the property of the Eastdale Recreation Center.
Both Rogers and Flemming were outside of the rec center when the shooting occurred. Flemming was able to run inside the center, and the facility manager, Dank Hawkins, took him into a safe room, called 911, and gave him medical treatment until police and EMS arrived.
Flemming is listed in stable condition and Rogers has been charged with attempted first-degree murder and aggravated assault.
