Anthony Mitchell, 41, was found shot to death in a field near his Copeland Drive home in the Powell community of North Knox County on Saturday, August 16, 2014. He had lived in Tennessee for 11 years after moving from Wyoming.

The Knox County Sheriff’s Office arrested his housemate, 35-year-old Jason Saffles, and charged him with first-degree murder in connection with the shooting. Both men lived at the same Copeland Drive address. After the arrest Saffles was held at the Roger D. Wilson Detention Facility on a $500,000 bond; reports say he had no prior criminal history in Knox County. Mitchell had an arrest for assault in 2010 that was later dismissed.

The motive and the sequence of events that led to the shooting in the field remain central to the investigation. Does anyone have information about Mitchell’s life in the Powell neighborhood or the days leading up to August 16, 2014?
