Police say Stephen "Dollar" Mobley shot three people multiple times at a house on Pinewood Drive because he was mad that two of them threw up in the house.

Two of them died and the third was rushed to a local hospital in the Labor Day rampage.

Mobley, 32, turned himself in Wednesday morning - a day after the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation added him to its ‘Top 10 Most Wanted’ list. He is being held on bonds totaling $3,750,000.

Mobley faces charges including two counts of first-degree murder, two counts of aggravated assault, one count of attempted first-degree murder, and one count of employment of a firearm during the commission of a dangerous felony.

Chattanooga Police were dispatched at 6:25 a.m. on Monday to 7458 Pinewood Dr. on a person shot call. Officers found Jasmine Hines and Rashaud Taylor dead at the scene with multiple gunshot wounds.

A woman was found with multiple gunshot wounds and was transported to Erlanger Hospital for treatment.

Police found there had been a gathering at that address in the early hours. After the gathering, the victims and several others went to the Chattanooga Billiards Club in East Brainerd to play darts, play pool and drink beer.

They then all returned to 7458 Pinewood Dr.

The woman said she observed a black male with colored dreads holding a firearm during the course of the evening, but did not know his name. She said she believes he is the one who shot her and the other two.

She said the man with the colored dreads "got upset because she and Jasmine Hines vomited in the house."

Police said another witness said Mobley was arguing with Ms. Hines just moments before the shooting and was the only person left in the residence with the three victims when the shooting occurred.

This witness said Mobley had a gun and had colored-tipped braids.

Police said Mobley fled the scene and requested that a family member take him to a local hotel.

Mobley has been charged with two prior killings. He pleaded guilty in January 2007 to voluntary manslaughter after being charged with first-degree murder. He was given a six-year prison sentence. Charges were dismissed in 2014 on a second murder after a jury hung up.

In the December 2005 case, Chattanooga Police responded to 1248 Cypress St. around noon on a shooting call. They found 20-year-old Elton Deandrea Hall at the residence of his grandmother.

The victim was transported to Erlanger Hospital for multiple gunshot wounds he had received during an argument with Mobley.

Police were informed by witnesses that the victim and the suspect got into some type of argument and they allegedly began to exchange gunfire.The victim was struck twice and ran to his grandmother’s residence before passing out. Paramedics arrived and transported the victim to Erlanger Hospital where he was pronounced dead a short time later.

Mobley was 21 at the time.

In the latter incident, a woman testified that she was with Mobley when he gunned down 28-year-old Gregory Watkins at a convenience store near the Brainerd Road Tunnels on June 1, 2012.

The woman said she had made a number of drug purchases for him, including one from Watkins a short time before the shooting of Watkins and a woman who was in the car with him.

She said Mobley was upset about the quality of the drugs and had asked her to set up another deal with Watkins.

She said Mobley got out of the car at the Conoco and began firing, then a short time later jumped back in the car.

Pinewood Drive is off Standifer Gap Road in East Brainerd.

Chattanooga Police ask anyone with information regarding this incident to call 423-698-2525
