CHATTANOOGA (WRCB) – Police say they have arrested a man in connection with a shooting on Woodlandview Circle.
According to police, 19-year-old Kenneth Trammell was the intended target of a shooting Tuesday on Jeffrey Lane in which a 16-year-old girl was shot in the thigh.

He and two other men were located and interviewed in reference to the shootings. Trammell was charged, the other two men do not face any charges.
Trammell was arrested on three counts of aggravated assault, vandalism and reckless endangerment. He is scheduled to appear in court on September 8.
Investigators say the case is still open.
