New information on Chattanooga shooting investigation

Chattanooga, TN (WDEF) –  More information is coming out about the Chattanooga shooting suspect Mohammad Youssuf Abdulazeez.

The Associated Press says an attorney for the suspect’s uncle says his client, Asaad Ibrahim Asaad Haj Ali, was arrested Friday by Jordanian government officials.

The attorney says Abdulazeez stayed with the uncle in Jordan last year, but only to help him with his business.

He says investigators took computers and cellphones from his client’s home, but have not charged him with anything.

The attorney says he has not been allowed to meet with his client.

He says Abdulazeez is not religious and did not belong to any sort of organization or political party.

The Associated Press is also reporting that a person close to the family says the suspect wrote in late 2013 of being a failure and having a worthless life after he lost his job at a power plant.

The person did not want to be identified, but said the writings were that of someone who was clearly depressed.

The person says the writings were described by the family, but the person has not read them. The writings were found by the FBI in the family home.

Abdulazeez was fired from a job at an Ohio power plant in 2013 after what an official described as a failed drug test.
