After two homicides and five shootings in Chattanooga and the surrounding area, five suspects are now in custody, and one homicide victim is now the suspect in the other.
A man was arrested in connection to Wednesday's Graysville Road shooting that left one man injured, according to court records.
Delmon Robertson, 18, is accused of shooting Kevin Granados, 19, after demanding money from him during a car ride, court records state.
Delmon RobertsonGranados told Chattanooga police he texted a man by the name of "Duke" who he met in school. Police later verified Duke was Robertson through a photo lineup presented to Granados.
Granados said he texted Robertson asking for a ride to court in Alabama. He told Robertson he would give him $50 for the ride and $50 for gas.
Robertson picked Granados up from his home, but Granados said he needed to go back home to use WiFi.
At that point, Robertson pulled into the parking lot of a business at 1042 Graysville Road, pulled out a gun and pointed it at Granados and demanded money, according to court records.
Granados told police he thought Robertson was joking until he shot him in the right leg and then tried to reach into Granados' pockets for money.
The two began struggling to gain control of the firearm when Robertson shot at Granados again, but the bullet missed him, striking his pants in the groin area, court records show.
Robertson finally yanked the gun from Granados and told him to get out of the vehicle. Granados told police Robertson fled in a white Chevrolet Impala.
