Chattanooga police said today that they are seeking suspects for two separate weekend shootings that left one man dead and a 13-year-old girl critically injured.
Investigators believe both of the shootings were gang-related, Chattanooga Police Chief Bobby Dodd said this morning at a news conference.
Joshua Lackey, 23, and Derrick Smith, 21, have both been charged with first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit first- degree murder, aggravated assault and attempted first-degree murder in the shooting death of 25-year-old Jabari Jennings, he said.
The shooting also wounded 24-year-old Lawande Haggard.
Dodd said investigators believe the two suspects may have left Chattanooga, but police continue to follow leads.
