Herbert Hammock, 62, was the victim of a violent home invasion in Knoxville, Tennessee, on June 27, 1991. Hammock in the chest during a robbery that took about $35 in cash, a wallet, keys, a watch, and possibly other small items. A neighbor’s intervention chased the assailant away.

Mr. Hammock was able to give a brief statement to a responding officer, saying the robber had threatened to be carrying a knife but never displayed one. He was hospitalized after the attack, deteriorated, and died of complications from the beating on July 8, 1991. No suspects were publicly identified and no arrests have been announced; the house where the attack occurred was later demolished.

Does anyone remember activity around Wray Street in late June 1991 or have information that could help identify the attacker?
