CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. – The Chattanooga Police Department arrested
24-year-old Reginald Siler in relation to the shooting that occurred in the
2300 block of Glass Street on January 26.
The preliminary investigation shows Siler began shooting towards a group of
people. A nearby armed security guard returned fire at the suspect,
ultimately striking Siler. After he was shot, Siler was transported to a
local hospital in a personally owned vehicle.
Earlier in April, the Homicide Investigator presented the facts of this
incident to a Hamilton County Grand Jury. The Grand Jury returned a true
bill charging Siler with Attempted First Degree Murder and Reckless
Endangerment. On April 24, Siler was located and arrested by CPD's
Fugitive Unit. Siler was transported to the Hamilton County Jail and
Detention Center.
This information is preliminary and is subject to change as the
investigation continues.
The charges and allegations referenced in this release are merely
accusations of criminal conduct and not evidence. A defendant is presumed
innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt and
convicted through due process of law.
