Two people were shot in Chattanooga on Sunday, capping a violent weekend on the city’s east side that began Friday with the slaying of a gang kingpin.

A police spokesman said Sunday he could not comment on possible connections between the incidents, but officers remained busy investigating the violence for a third straight day.

Sunday’s round began when officers found Dieshunn Lindsey in East Lake Courts with a gunshot wound shortly before 11 a.m.

Investigators learned the shooting actually took place in the 2000 block of Duncan Avenue as Lindsey argued with a woman, Latesha Hinton.

Hinton shot Lindsey while defending herself and others from the man, police said.
