After four shootings that left two men dead, Chattanooga police saturated high-crime neighborhoods over the weekend.

The result was 34 arrests, 10 of which were felonies, and a total of 11 gang members were arrested. Police interviewed 43 gang members, executed six arrest warrants and confiscated two guns.

The two fatal shootings are related to each other, one a retaliation for the first, police say.

On Wednesday, Barry Bowman was shot in the head and taken to Parkridge Hospital in a personal vehicle. Bowman, 22, was shot at 6317 Walden Ave. and later died.

On Saturday morning, 20-year-old Quincy Bell was shot and killed while driving in the 3800 block of Shallowford Road. He managed to drive about a quarter of a mile to a gas station where he died inside a Toyota Camry. Police say he was a documented member of the Bloods gang.
