A traffic stop earlier this month uncovered a gun believed to have been used in a February shooting on Cowart Street near Broad Street and W. Main Street in downtown Chattanooga.

The shooting occurred Feb. 24 at 3 a.m. in the 1400 block of Cowart Street. Investigators gathered evidence and spoke to witnesses at the time.

Police found the gun March 5 after its gang unit investigators pulled over 18-year-old Brandon Rogers in the 3600 block of Chateau Lane.

After reviewing evidence, police issued a warrant for felonious reckless endangerment.

Rogers was arrested March 13.
