The remnants of tattered yellow crime scene tape still mark a fence post.

Various graffiti, including the word “Blood,” marks a nearby mailbox, just a few doors down from where a drive-by shooting on Fagan Street left two teen boys hospitalized Saturday night.

“These kids weren’t in a gang. They were just walking by,” said a 21-year-old man who pulled in front of the residence Monday afternoon where a 17-year-old was shot in the thigh and a 15-year-old was shot in the neck and leg.

“They were just at the wrong place at the wrong time,” said the man, who did not give his name.

The 15-year-old boy remains in critical condition at a local hospital, said Chattanooga police Sgt. Jerri Weary.
