One of the victims in a Jan. 29 shooting in Chattanooga’s Westside died Monday, police said.

Bernice Williams, 32, was shot in the head multiple times at around 12:30 a.m. at a home in the 700 block of West Main Street Court. Another victim was shot in the neck, though his injury was described as not life-threatening.

Robert Orr, 28, was named as a suspect in connection to the shooting.

Orr was in the home where the two victims were and began shooting the man before turning and shooting Williams, according to court records.

Multiple shell casings were found throughout the front room of the house where the shooting occurred.
