Tamela Moore was 22 when she was shot in the late hours of Sunday, November 11, 2018, inside a residence on Speedway Circle in East Knoxville. She was taken to the University of Tennessee Medical Center but died of her injuries. A Fulton High School graduate from the class of 2015, Moore was a mother to a young son and working at McDonald’s. Her family includes her mother, father, sister, and brother.

An 18-year-old man, Jeremiah Moore, was brought to the same hospital with gunshot wounds shortly after Tamela arrived; investigators considered a possible connection between the two shootings but it was unclear if they were related. The Knoxville Police Department’s investigation has not produced publicly identified suspects or arrests, and the homicide remains unsolved. The community held a prayer walk in response to the shooting.

If anyone has information about what happened that night on Speedway Circle, please come forward to assist in bringing answers to the family.
