Thirty-year-old Isaac J. Queen was killed in a Monday morning shooting at a Hampton Inn on Shallowford Road, according to police.
Officers responded to the Hampton Inn in the 7000 block of Shallowford Road at 12:51 a.m. on a report of shots fired and found Queen lying on the sidewalk, suffering from a gunshot wound, according to a news release.
He was pronounced dead on the scene. No information was immediately available from the police about any possible suspect in the shooting.
Hampton Inn employees at the location declined to comment on the shooting Monday afternoon, directing all requests for information to the Chattanooga Police Department, but passersby had mixed feelings about what it indicated about their own safety.
“I moved myself and my child further out from the city because I was tired of hearing gunshots,” Cerie Thomas said. “Now we’re out here and the same thing is happening.”
