Christopher Lee Smith, 19, of Lafayette, Georgia, has been charged with a shooting Sunday morning at 201 Sequatchie Trail, north of Lafayette. 

The shooting incident left one person injured, according to Walker County Sheriff Steve Wilson.

An argument over money involving four people led to the shooting that injured James Lee, 39, who resides at 201 Sequatchie Trail.

He is recovering from a gunshot wound to the leg.
