Edwin Joe Todd Jr., 23, was fatally shot in a parking lot after an altercation that began inside the Red Iguana nightclub in Knoxville’s Old City during the early morning hours of April 27, 2006. The fight spilled outside into a large brawl; a single gunshot was fired and Todd was found on the pavement with a fatal wound. He had celebrated his 23rd birthday just ten days earlier and was known to friends as Shaq and to family as JR.

More than 20 people were present that night, but investigators reported that many witnesses could not or would not identify a shooter. Physical evidence at the scene was limited to a shirt and a single shell casing, and the case later went cold with no arrests announced. His mother, Gina Todd, has checked in with investigators annually and says she believes he was trying to protect a friend; she has expressed a wish for rehabilitation as well as accountability for whoever fired the shot.

Does anyone who was in the Old City that night or who knew Edwin have information that could help bring clarity to this unresolved killing?
