Jevon Montrel Sturdivant, an 18-year-old Black male from Chattanooga, was found dead in Knoxville, Tennessee, on February 22, 2012. His body was located in an alley in the 3400 block of Ashland Avenue near Andes Street. An autopsy determined he died from a gunshot wound and the Knoxville Police Department has classified the death as a homicide.

Despite investigative efforts, no arrests have been made and no suspects have been publicly identified. The case has grown cold as authorities have struggled to develop enough evidence to pursue a prosecution, though law enforcement has periodically asked the public for tips. The unresolved homicide has had a lasting impact on Sturdivant’s family and friends, who continue to seek answers and closure.

Did anyone in Knoxville at the time notice or hear anything in that neighborhood on or before February 22, 2012 that could help this investigation?
