CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (WDEF) —  The Chattanooga Police Department (CPD) is investigating a homicide that occurred over the weekend.

At 12:05 p.m., December 1, 2024, officers responded to a person shot call in the 6600 block of Green Road.

Upon arrival, officers discovered a 17-year-old male with life-threatening injuries.

Hamilton County EMS responded to the scene and transported to him to a local hospital.

Unfortunately, the 17-year-old died at the hospital.

“My mind was a little bit in shock, I could not believe what had happened only because he was a chill dude and like there was no way someone could have done to him like no way.  Mind you, he was probably the most chillest person I have met so far this year, and I had no regrets of meeting that man,” said a friend of the homicide victim.

According to CPD, a preliminary investigation by their Homicide Unit revealed the victim was inside a residence when he was shot.

The suspect was believed to be outside the residence when the shooting occurred.
