Tuesday, March 22, 2011

Police have several warrants for a suspect accused of shooting three men Monday night in Chattanooga.

Reginald Woods, 36, is accused of shooting the men after an argument, according to police spokeswoman Sgt. Jerri Weary.

Warrants were obtained against Woods, who also goes by "Joker," for three counts of attempted first-degree murder, three counts of aggravated assault and three counts of reckless endangerment, Weary said.

Marcel Hawthorne, 22, Eric McMath, 20, and Jermichael Powell, 18, were shot near 1236 Cypress Street Court, Weary said, and none of the injuries appear to be life-threatening.

What caused the argument isn't known, but it's believed that the incident concerns one of Woods' family members, Weary said.

None of the four men is a legal resident of College Hill Courts, she said.
