On the evening of March 20, 2018, 23-year-old Jerome Maurice Melvine Diaz Jr. was driving a Chevrolet Malibu at the intersection of Ed Shouse Road and Middlebrook Pike in Knoxville when his car was struck by multiple gunshots along the left side. The vehicle ran off the road into a ditch. First responders found Diaz gravely wounded shortly before 6:15 p.m.; he was taken to the University of Tennessee Medical Center and died of multiple gunshot wounds.

Knoxville Police Department’s Violent Crimes Unit treats the shooting as a targeted homicide, but the motive remains unknown publicly. The case remains unsolved: no suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced. Law enforcement and East Tennessee Valley Crime Stoppers have appealed for information and say callers can remain anonymous.

If anyone witnessed the shooting or saw Diaz’s Chevrolet Malibu around that intersection that evening, can you share what you remember with investigators?
