Frank Bando Vinson, 49, was fatally shot outside his home on East Fifth Avenue in Knoxville, Tennessee, on November 23, 2022. Authorities have said the shooting appeared to follow an attempted armed robbery. Vinson was laid to rest by family and friends who remembered him after his death.

The Knoxville Police Department identified three male suspects in the homicide: Damonte Golden, DeSean Johnson, and Lawrence Stenson. By December 2022 Golden was in custody on an unrelated charge, while Johnson and Stenson were initially still at large. Law enforcement later arrested both remaining suspects; a preliminary hearing for all three men was scheduled for January 2023. Reports indicate Johnson and Stenson had sustained gunshot wounds at some point and received medical treatment during the investigation.
