Jermichael Shakur Brooks
An alleged gang member from East Ridge charged with attempted first-degree murder is being held on large $500,000 bond after a shooting on Rogers Road.
According to police, two men were walking down the street when a black BMW pulled up behind them. The men told police the front seat passenger started shooting at them.
Police recovered multiple 9 mm shell casings at the scene.
The men said they recognized the shooter as a man they knew as "Bluelight." They also said he was a member of the Rolling 60's Crips gang.
After investigation, police identified "Bluelight" as 21-year-old Jermichael Shakur Brooks. When given a lineup, the men both identified Brooks as the man who shot them.
Brooks was arrested Thursday afternoon. He was charged with two counts of attempted murder, two counts of aggravated assault, and two counts of reckless endangerment. He was also charged with possession of a firearm while in commission of a felony.
Brooks is scheduled to appear before General Sessions Court Judge Lila Statom on Tuesday.
