Michael Anthony Nolan was 58 when he was shot while sitting in his vehicle on the afternoon of January 3, 2017, in the 2400 block of Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue in Knoxville, Tennessee. He managed to drive about a block after being wounded before he was found and taken to UT Medical Center, where he died of his injuries. He was described as a cherished member of Overcoming Believers Church.

Knoxville Police investigated the shooting as a robbery and identified a person of interest who was already in custody on unrelated charges, later named as Odell L. Glass, age 34. A Knox County grand jury indicted Glass in February 2017 on multiple charges including first-degree murder, felony murder, and being a felon in possession of a weapon. Prosecutors’ case described Glass approaching Nolan’s vehicle with a handgun, entering the car, and firing a single, fatal shot.

The community mourned Nolan’s loss; the case record shows the indictment and subsequent trial proceedings that followed. Did anyone in the area remember seeing Michael that afternoon or notice anything unusual on Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue?
