Police have identified the suspects and victims involved in a home invasion that left one suspect dead early Tuesday morning.

Ronald Lovell Wright, 31, was fatally shot by officers during the home invasion, said Chattanooga police spokesman Officer Nathan Hartwig.

A second suspect, Kevin Williams, 19, was taken into custody at the scene, Hartwig said. Warrants are being obtained on Williams for three counts of aggravated robbery and two counts of attempted aggravated robbery, Hartwig said.

Logan Naff, 24, Adam Vogelmeier, 24, Taylor Worley, 19, Austin Schmucker, 18, and Michael Kessler, 19, have been identified as the residents of the Brainerd home where the invasion and shooting took place. None of the victims inside nor officers responding were injured.
