On the morning of Sunday, November 16, 2025, 25-year-old Rodrell Jeter of Detroit was shot and killed inside a rental Ford Bronco on I-640 near Gap Road in Knoxville, Tennessee. He was traveling from Detroit to Atlanta with his 33-year-old cousin Troy Hutchison of Atlanta and a 22-year-old man from Detroit when shots were fired around 3:40 a.m. Both Jeter and Hutchison were killed; the third occupant suffered critical injuries but survived.

The rental Bronco, a light-colored vehicle with Michigan license plates, was later found abandoned in Fort Mitchell, Kentucky. Knoxville Police Department Homicide Unit investigators say interviews and cellphone record review, together with anonymous tips, led to an identification of a suspect. A Knox County grand jury returned a 17-count indictment in late November 2025 charging Dashonn Moten of Detroit with two counts of first-degree murder, two counts of felony murder and attempted first-degree murder for the surviving victim’s injuries. Authorities say Moten is believed to be in the Detroit area and the U.S. Marshals Service has been asked to assist.

Family members have said they think the men were trying to help the suspect when the shooting occurred. Rodrell Jeter was a father to a young son. Does anyone who knew Rodrell or was traveling that route in mid-November have information to share?
