Eric Beezy Bolden, 46, was shot and killed outside a residence on South Hembree Street in Knoxville on Monday, May 3, 2021. Officers found him with at least one gunshot wound and he died after being taken to the UT Medical Center. The Knoxville Police Department’s Violent Crimes Unit opened an investigation; as of the last update no suspects have been publicly identified and the inquiry remains active.

Bolden was himself a wanted man at the time — police had issued a warrant for second-degree murder alleging he shot 41-year-old Lemuel Appling on October 28, 2020, after an argument on Hillside Avenue. His family held public services and remembered him as outgoing with a passion for fast cars. The shooting that killed Bolden left his family grieving and the earlier murder accusation unresolved.

Did anyone in Knoxville see activity on South Hembree Street that day or have information about either shooting?
