CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. – The Chattanooga Police Department is
investigating a robbery in the 6500 block of Pine Manor Drive that resulted
in one person being shot.
On August 2, 2025 at approximately 3:06 p.m., Chattanooga Police Robbery
Investigators responded to interview the victim and process the scene.
Preliminary investigation indicates that the victim and suspect met in the
6500 block of Pine Manor Dr. to complete a transaction arranged through a
social media marketplace when the suspect shot the victim. The 17-year-old
male victim sustained non-life-threatening injuries.
As a reminder, the CPD offers a Safe Exchange Zone in the Police Services
Center parking lot located at 3410 Amnicola Highway. This area is
for residents to conduct secure transactions like buying, selling, trading
items, or during child custody exchanges. This designated area has several
video cameras which record 24/7. Anyone wanting to use the space does not
need to check in with the CPD, but should park in the
designated Safe Exchange Zone area to complete their business.
Although there's a designated area with cameras at the CPD, we still
recommend meeting to make exchanges during daylight hours and telling a
friend or family member where you're going.
This is an ongoing investigation and details may change as more information
becomes available. Anyone with information related to this incident is
asked to call the Chattanooga Police Department at 423-698-2525.
