Chattanooga police have identified two people who were shot at Chattanooga's Golden Gateway Apartments on Sunday.

The victims were identified as 30-year-old Nathan James Reese and 20-year-old Anthony Dijuan Visher.

Both were critically injured in the shooting around 3 a.m., according to a news release.

Golden Gateway resident Ray Bonner said he hopes police catch the person who shot his neighbor early Sunday morning.

Bonner said he didn't see anything, but heard rounds of gunfire and could hear his friend scream.

"He was outside just hollering for his life. The guy was begging," Bonner said.

One of the victim's sons was visiting for the weekend and was in bed asleep inside when the shooting occurred, Bonner said, and was unharmed. Outside, on the front porch at 1205 Grove St. where his father had been sitting, a large puddle of blood collected. Everybody thought the victim was dead because the ambulance came late, said Bonner.

The shooting was one of four in the city over the weekend.
