Shooting at Delta Express
Chattanooga’s fourth shooting in a week took place early Friday while the two victims were sitting at the gas pumps at a convenience store.
Gregory Watkins, 28, was shot to death outside the Delta Express at 3410 Brainerd Road. The shooter reportedly walked over to Watkins’ car about 2 a.m., pulled out a gun and fired multiple times into the vehicle.
Lashonda Gonzalez, 22, who was in the car with Watkins, was also wounded. She was taken to a local hospital for treatment but police said her wounds are not life-threatening.
Police believe both Watkins and Gonzalez were targeted by the gunman.
On Friday morning, shards of glass still littered the ground near the gas pumps at Delta Express. A wrecker towed Watkins’ red Toyota away just before rain began to fall.
