Tamaralynn Ann Russell, 38, was killed on the afternoon of February 17, 2021, in Knoxville, Tennessee. While driving her van on Central Street near Atlantic Avenue, a confrontation with a vehicle behind her escalated when a passenger in the trailing Jeep opened fire. Russell was struck in the head; her van crashed and she died at a local hospital hours later. A nearby school bus carrying special needs students was also struck by gunfire, though none of the children were physically harmed. A witness reported seeing a Black male exit the passenger side of the Jeep with a firearm before the shots were fired.

Investigators identified Paul Foutner as the primary suspect; he was arrested and later tried. In February 2023 a Knox County jury convicted Foutner of second-degree murder in Russell’s death, plus attempted second-degree murder of a passenger in the van and reckless endangerment for firing near the school bus. Does anyone have information about Russell’s last movements on Central Street or saw the vehicles involved that afternoon?
