Clues Sought in Two Drive-by Shootings

Chattanooga Police are searching for clues or information about a small black vehicle and its occupants involved in two separate shootings Wednesday evening.

Just before 2:00 pm officers were called to 2100 Foust St. on a report of subject shot. Witnesses said a small black car came down 2nd Ave. and crossed Foust when the rear passenger began firing in the direction of 1917 Foust St.

Ronald Eugene Glass Jr. was standing on the sidewalk and was hit by one of the bullets. Glass was taken to Erlanger and treated for a minor gunshot wound to his lower abdomen. Police said he was treated and released.

The second call came a few minutes after the first at 1200 Grove St., also on shots fired. There witnesses said a small black vehicle stopped on Grove St and began shooting. Officers did not locate a victim, however they did find evidence numerous shots had been fired.

Officers found shell casings on the street and were able to recover casings from surrounding buildings. The investigators on the first shooting were at Erlanger when Roland Reynolds, 19, showed up and told them he was standing on a porch in the 1200 block of Grove St. when a small black car, possibly a Ford Focus stopped and the right rear passenger fired 9 or 10 shots. Reynolds sustained a single gunshot wound to the hand.

Chattanooga Police are looking for a late model small black vehicle, possibly a Ford Focus, Honda Accord or Saturn.
