On the evening of Saturday, July 16, 2022, Knoxville police found 26-year-old Jefasha L. Mitchell unresponsive in a parked car in an alley in the 2500 block of Louise Avenue. She had sustained at least one gunshot wound. Emergency responders transported her to the University of Tennessee Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead and her death was ruled a homicide.

Investigators from the Violent Crimes Unit interviewed multiple people and searched the area, but authorities did not publicly identify a suspect in the days after the shooting. Friends and family remembered Mitchell as a devoted mother and the oldest of her mother’s children; she had graduated from Kelly Volunteer Academy and attended Paul Mitchell Cosmetology School.

What can readers who knew Jefasha or who were in that neighborhood on July 16, 2022, add to help investigators or the family?
