Travis Lamont Brown was 35 when he was found dead on the afternoon of May 3, 2023, on the sidewalk of the Broadway bridge in Knoxville, between West Depot Avenue and West Jackson Avenue. First responders pronounced him dead at the scene; investigators quickly treated the death as a homicide after witnesses reported hearing a gunshot and seeing Brown fall while he was walking on the viaduct with another man.

Witnesses and surveillance footage focused attention on 36-year-old Jayshawn Williams, who was seen taking steps away from the scene, pulling his hood over his head, and leaving in the opposite direction. Police arrested Williams on May 11, 2023, at a Sevier Avenue gas station; officers found suspected heroin and meth on him and transported him to a hospital after he appeared intoxicated. He was charged with second-degree murder and later indicted in September 2023 on second-degree murder and illegal weapons possession charges.

Are there witnesses, dashcam footage, or other information from downtown Knoxville on May 3 that could shed more light on what happened?
