Police may charge Dodds shooting victim

A man who was shot today at the Kanku’s Express on Dodds Avenue may face charges, Chattanooga police said.

Darrell Holiday, 28, was shot in the left arm during a confrontation shortly before 12:30 p.m. at the convenience store at 2115 Dodds Ave., police spokeswoman Rebecca Royval said. He was taken to Parkridge Hospital in a private car.

When police interviewed him, Holliday was uncooperative and stated that he wasn’t sure how the shooting occurred or who the suspect was, Royval said.

But surveillance video shows Holiday approaching someone from behind, then moments later, being shot. The video shows Holiday clearly looking at the suspect then walking into the store, where he asks the clerk to call 911.

Royval said Holiday’s injuries are not considered life-threatening, although the bullet penetrated his chest cavity.

She said he gave inconsistent and false statements to investigators and may face charges of filing a false police report.
