Martaysha Flack was 20 and a student at the Paul Mitchell School of Beauty when she was fatally shot in Knoxville on July 28, 2021. The shooting occurred around 5 p.m. in the parking lot of the Holston Oaks Apartments. She was found inside a vehicle with at least one gunshot wound and did not survive. A man found with her in the vehicle suffered a gunshot wound that was not life-threatening.

Martaysha, known to family as Tay, left behind a young daughter, her parents, and siblings. Her death was the third fatal shooting to strike her family within months; her cousin Chaka Sligh was killed eleven days earlier and another cousin, Jamarion Dada Gillette, had been fatally shot four months earlier. The Knoxville Police Department is treating Martaysha’s death as a homicide and has asked for help identifying men seen on camera near the scene. No arrests or publicly named suspects have been announced.

Did anyone in Knoxville see those men or have information about the Holston Oaks parking lot around 5 p.m. on July 28, 2021?
