601 Ledford St.
Chattanooga police have identified two suspects in a Monday home invasion robbery on Ledford Street that resulted in a officer shooting one of the suspects in the foot.
Police responded to 601 Ledford St. just after noon Monday and found Melvin Evans, 18, and a 16-year-old suspect inside the residence.
As Evans and the teen began to flee from the residence, the 16-year-old brandished a gun, pointing it at Officer William Campbell, according to police spokeswoman Sgt. Jerri Weary.
Campbell ordered the suspects to the ground. Evans complied but the teen pointed the gun while running. He was shot in the foot, Weary said.
Evans faces charges of aggravated robbery, possession of a firearm in the commission of a felony and criminal conspiracy. His next court date is set for April 26 in Judge Clarence Shattuck’s courtroom.
