Dennis Ballard was 28 when his body was found under a tree on the south side of the tennis courts off Mulvaney Street in Knoxville, Tennessee. Responders were called about a man who appeared ill on the evening of September 2, 1991, but Ballard had died of a gunshot wound.

The initial inquiry produced few leads and the investigation quickly grew cold. No public announcements of suspects or arrests have been made, and the reasons Ballard was at the Mulvaney Street courts that evening and the motive for his killing remain unknown. Family members and law enforcement have periodically renewed appeals to the community for information, including around the 20th anniversary, asking anyone who saw or spoke with him that day or who has heard anything since to come forward.

Does anyone have information about Dennis Ballard’s movements or contacts on September 2, 1991?
