Troy Pookey Davis Sr was 31 when he was killed on June 25, 2003, in Knoxville, Tennessee. He was riding his motorcycle when he was struck by gunfire and found with five gunshot wounds. Friends and family remembered him as a caring individual amid a summer crime wave that included several violent incidents.

Authorities arrested a suspect soon after the shooting, but the case never reached a grand jury and that person was released. The investigation later stalled and no arrests were made. The case is now handled by the Knox County Sheriff’s Office Cold Case Unit, which has re-interviewed potential witnesses and periodically asked the public for tips.

Anyone with information about Troy’s killing is asked to contact the Cold Case Unit to help bring answers to his family.
