On the evening of October 31, 2023, 33-year-old Andrew Buckner of Knoxville was shot multiple times and died at the scene in the 8500 block of Old Rutledge Pike in the Mascot area. Knox County Sheriff’s deputies were called about a possible shooting around 7:45 p.m.; first responders pronounced Buckner dead after finding him with multiple gunshot wounds.

Investigators say Buckner had been involved in an argument with 49-year-old Jonathan Rolen over a missing toolbox before the shooting. Rolen was at the scene when deputies arrived and was taken into custody. He was charged with voluntary manslaughter and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, and had an outstanding warrant in Union County.

Buckner was remembered as a kind man who enjoyed fishing, camping and riding motorcycles, had attended Lenoir City High School and earned a business degree, and cherished being a father to his son. If anyone witnessed the argument or has information about the events that led to that Halloween evening shooting, please share what you know.
