Man shot on Fourth Avenue

Chattanooga police continue to investigate a shooting Wednesday night at 2800 Fourth Ave.

Police identified Kevin Brown, 29, of 1105 S. Willow St. as the man who was shot in the right wrist, right abdomen, upper right chest and upper left back, said police spokeswoman Lt. Kim Noorbergen in a news release.

Witnesses told police that a black male in all-black clothing, a hooded sweatshirt and white mask approached Mr. Brown in a parking lot. Witnesses also told police they heard a single gunshot and saw Mr. Brown fall to the ground, Lt. Noorbergen said.

Witnesses said they then heard several more shots.

Mr. Brown first was taken to Parkridge Hospital and transferred to Erlanger hospital, where he underwent surgery and is listed in critical condition, Lt. Noorbergen said.

The suspect reportedly fled north on Fourth Avenue.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Chattanooga Police Department at 698-2525.
