Charles Austin Corn, 23, was shot in his Knoxville apartment at the Woodlands Townhouses on Spruce Ridge Way on May 19, 2009 and died of his wounds on May 24, 2009. Police concluded the shooting happened during what they believe was a robbery; investigators also say evidence at the scene indicated Corn was a high-level marijuana dealer importing large quantities, and that his drug activities were a central focus of the inquiry.

Two fellow University of Tennessee students were present. Kinder Cole Tuckwiller told police that two unknown men entered, shot Corn, and fled while he and Corn had been about to smoke marijuana; Tuckwiller had reported a robbery at his own apartment the day before. Brent Leeland Vinson, a former UT football player, was later arrested on charges of tampering with evidence and being an accessory after the fact. No one has been charged with Corn’s murder and the Knoxville Police Department lists the case as an unsolved homicide.

If anyone knew Charles, his associates, or saw suspicious activity near Spruce Ridge Way in May 2009, can you share what you remember?
