Charles Louis Earles was 28 when he was shot and killed on Cavalier Avenue in eastern Knoxville on the evening of December 6, 2007. Knoxville Police responded that night and found him suffering from a gunshot wound; his injuries proved fatal.

Investigators have identified three persons of interest over the years, but no arrests were ever made and no charges filed. The case grew cold and became one of about 150 unsolved homicides in the city dating back to 1968. In May 2018 the Knoxville Police Department and Earles’ family canvassed the neighborhood again, going door-to-door in hopes someone would come forward, but the murder remains unsolved.

Who in the Cavalier Avenue area around December 2007 might have seen or heard something that could help bring answers for Charles’ family?
