Denise Nicole Stevens, 29, was killed on January 28, 2018, during a home invasion robbery at a residence in Knoxville, Tennessee. Known as Nisey and a 2007 Central High School graduate, she was described as a loving and devoted mother to three sons. The robbery was arranged through the social media app Snapchat as a purported drug transaction.

Two men, identified in reports as Elijah Bowman, 20, and Amir Hassan Spears, 20, came to the house for the fake deal. Spears reportedly entered carrying an AR-15 and began shooting; Bowman then fired a handgun, wounding two others. Denise Stevens ran to her bedroom and closed the door, but was fatally shot through the closed door. The two men fled with 8 ounces of marijuana, $25,000 in cash, and another AR-15 rifle.

Both suspects were arrested and charged. If anyone knew Denise, her family, or has information about the shooting, please share what you can with investigators.
