Witnesses and others involved in the situation are cooperating with police.

He said the driver of the Nissan then got out his car and into the back of the Malibu. After about 15 seconds, gunfire erupted in the car.
The driver of the Nissan exited the Chevy and ran west on McCallie Avenue. The driver of the Chevy opened his door and immediately fell to the ground, while his passenger got out, hopped in the driver seat and drove off.
Jordan and the other man involved showed up at hospitals hours later and were interviewed by investigators. He admitted to going to Kanku's to meet someone to buy marijuana.
He said he paid the driver $100, but then the passenger pulled out a gun, prompting him to pull one out himself and start shooting into the front of the car. Jordan was alleged to be a validated gang member.
Jordan was charged in connection with the homicide, but a judge ultimately dismissed the murder charges because Jordan claimed self-defense and detectives couldn't say who had shot first.
Members of the Chattanooga Police Department's Violent Crimes Bureau are investigating.
