The surviving victim (Shadden) stated he and Robinson hitched a ride from a black male, on Taylor St. , driving a dark brown Chevrolet Caprice and let them out on Arrowhead Dr.
Shadden stated that Robinson knew a girl that lived in the area and was the reason they were in Brainerd. Shadden stated they walked several side streets for approximately 1-2 hours and encountered two black males also walking and one suspect produced a handgun and started shooting them.
Both victims ran from the area to Brainerd Rd near the Krispy Kreme Doughnut business where a motorist spotted them and stopped. Shadden told the occupants, in a 2004 white Ford Explorer Sport Trac pickup truck, they had been shot and they got in the back seat; and transported to the hospital.
Shadden did not know what street they were on when they were shot. Patrol and investigators combed the area but were unable to locate a crime scene; will attempt during daylight. We are currently using 5609 Brainerd Road as incident location until the scene is located.
Shadden described the suspects as:
Black male, red t-shirt, tall, shoulder length “dreads” hair (shooter)
Black male, white t-shirt, short “low” hair

Chattanooga Police have been alerted to a possible travel agency scam that recently visited our area. A series of seminars promoted by Royal Palm Vacation was conducted at the Hilton Garden Inn located at 311 Chestnut Street back in August of this year. The group advertised vacations at a major discount as compared to regular travel agencies.
After receiving a complaint about the company, an officer looked deeper into the business and found that there’s an open investigation on the company that’s based out of Florida . The Florida Attorney General’s Office advised that they’ve received several complaints against United Vacation Travel and found that it has conducted sales under various names. Suncoast Vacations, Suncoast LLC, Travel Services USA, United Vacation Network, Capital Finance, CER Suncoast Vacations, (SVI) & Royal Palm Vacation are aliases of the company who misrepresented itself by not delivering as promised.
The representatives of the company that came to Chattanooga told potential clients that they were based out of Reno , Nevada but officials in Reno advised that the address listed, 318 California Ave. suite # 922 , was nothing more than a PO Box. Their office then changed to another address of 3500 Lakeside Court Suite 208 but was nothing more than a small unoccupied office.
Florida officials looked further into the company and found that it was formerly owned by Donna Loher of San Antonio , TX . Loher was killed in November of last year after a domestic dispute with an ex-boyfriend. One of Loher’s three sons took over the company which at that time was called United Vacation Travel. Since taking over the business, complaints have come in about suspicious practices.
Chattanooga Police encourage anyone in the area who is a victim of this scam to notify the Florida Attorney General’s fraud hotline at 1-866-966-7226. They will be working all cases involving this scam.

On 09-23-08 at 1022 hours, a possible burglary/assault occurred on Bell Brook Ave in the highway 58 area.
The elderly victims stated that she heard the door bell ring and answered the door to find a white male standing there. The W/M was very well spoken and very polite. He was wearing a reflective vest and claimed to work for a power company.
He told her that he needed her to show him where her property line was because they were going to be putting new underground lines in and were going to have to dig the ground up.
The victim went outside and walked around the yard with the w/m for several minutes, the w/m’s two-way beeped and the white male answered it and he then took off running.
The other elderly victim was inside the house during these events. He stated that he was in the den when he heard someone yelling “anyone home”. He went to see who was there when he found a white male standing in his bedroom.
The white male had a white towel in his hand and looked very “crazy”, the victim grabbed the white male and tried to hold him, but the w/m just pushed him off and ran out the door.
The two w/m subjects get into a black or dark colored SUV with dark windows. The vehicle possibly had out of state tags.
Last week CPD asked for the media to alert the elderly on 2 w/m’s who were posing as carpet salesmen, it is possible these are the same two subjects that were using the carpet scam last week. The description matches and the vehicle matches. Also, the area was the same for the carpet scam.
There is very limited information on the two white males. They are described as 25-30 years old, one wearing a reflective vest and the other wearing a white t-shirt and khaki pants.
We are asking for help in alerting elderly residents of this scam, this could possible be the same two and they have changed their MO.
If anyone has info on these 2 subjects please call the Chattanooga Police Department at 698-2525.
