.  – The Chattanooga Police Department (CPD) has arrested a 15-year-old
male in connection with a shooting that occurred on July 22, 2025, in the
1100 block of Arlington Avenue.

At approximately 6:59 p.m., CPD officers responded to a Person Shot call at
an apartment in the 1100 block of Arlington Avenue. Upon arrival, they
located the 14-year-old male victim. He was taken to a hospital by Hamilton
County EMS with non-life-threatening injuries.

CPD’s Homicide Unit responded to lead the investigation with support from
the Crime Scene Unit and a CPD K-9 team.

The suspect was quickly identified, located, and interviewed by a Homicide
Unit detective. He is now in custody and charged with Felony Reckless
Endangerment and Unlawful Possession of a Weapon.

Preliminary investigation suggests an altercation took place just prior to
the shooting in close proximity to the victims. Investigators are working
to determine the exact circumstances surrounding the incident and are
collecting all items of evidentiary value — including, but not limited to,
physical evidence, interviews, and potential video footage.

This information is preliminary and is subject to change as the
investigation continues.  Chattanooga Police ask anyone with
information regarding this incident to call 423-698-2525.
