James Evans Jr. was 19 when he was found shot to death on Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue in Knoxville, Tennessee. His body was discovered on July 15, 1998, near a residential area; investigators determined he had been shot multiple times.

The Knoxville Police Department opened a homicide investigation but developed few leads. Over the years the case remained unsolved and was later transferred to the Knox County Sheriff’s Office Cold Case Unit for re-examination. Authorities have said little about suspects or motive and continue to ask anyone with information to come forward.

Does anyone who lived on or near Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue in July 1998 remember anything that might help this investigation?
