Chattanooga Police Department officers were dispatched to an aggravated assault where a party was shot at by a suspect.
Once on the scene, police spoke with the victim, Charles Moore, 24, who advised that he had been partying all night with the suspect, Robert Murphy II, 27, when a fight broke out between the two.
According to the victim, Murphy struck him with a pipe in the head, causing him to briefly lose consciousness.
As Moore attempted to leave the residence, Murphy fired numerous rounds from a handgun at Moore, police were told. Murphy then went back inside the residence.
