A man is in the hospital after police say he was shot in the chest in front of an Anderson Avenue Home Saturday afternoon.Police responded to a shooting around 3 o'clock in the afternoon at the 2200 block of Anderson Avenue. They say when they got there they found a 36-year-old male shot in the chest. He has now been identified as Jeremy Rand, and is in stable condition."Theres a lot of crime going around here because the yo-yo's over there standing on the corner don't do nothing," says resident Margarita Huss.Huss has lived at her home since 1984. Just one block away from where police found Rand shot in this black Nissan. A shooting that police say may have been drug related. They also believe he was targeted."It wasn't a drive-by. The suspect approached the victim and shot the victim, so it wasn't just a random shooting or drive-by," says Nathan Hartwig with the Chattanooga Police Department.It's crime she says she's sick of. She also says she's not surprised."It doesn't surprise me at all. It's all over as a matter of fact because people around here got nothing better to do than destroy stuff," says Huss.Huss says she's seen big changes to her community. But not for the better."I think people are getting violent, violent. They got nothing to do but killing people. That's what it is," says Huss.She says at the end of the day the buck stops at law enforcement. More policing in an area she says is desperate for it."I hope and pray that the police take more interest in this neighborhood. More police people come around here because they need it," says Huss.The man was taken to a local hospital where he remains in critical condition.Police are asking for your help trying to find the suspect. If you have any information, contact the Chattanooga Police Department.
