Samuel James Sturgill, 23, was found lying in the roadway in the 1000 block of Reedy Place in Kingsport, Tennessee, on September 19, 2015, the victim of a shooting. He was taken to Holston Valley Medical Center but died after arrival. Friends and family remembered him for his love of nature, fitness, and music.

Kingsport Police investigators quickly focused on Abram Jeremiah Amos as a person of interest. Officers located Amos at a Sullivan County residence and found a vehicle matching the description of one seen fleeing the scene. Investigators identified Amos as the shooter, recovered the firearm believed to have been used, and charged him with Second Degree Murder.

In December 2016, Abram Amos pleaded guilty to the murder and a judge sentenced him to 20 years in prison. Did anyone who knew Samuel or who was in the Reedy Place area that night see something that could help fill gaps in the timeline?
