In the winter of 2023, 30-year-old Jeronimo Gomez was shot and later died after a confrontation that followed a vehicle collision on Bradshaw Garden Road in North Knoxville. The shooting happened on the evening of January 17; emergency services transported Gomez to the University of Tennessee Medical Center where he was pronounced dead. The male shooter fled before police arrived and a search for the assailant was opened.

Knoxville Police investigators stressed several key pieces of evidence. The suspect’s vehicle was described as a 2012 Midnight Black Toyota Camry with front-end and driver’s-side damage; a missing door handle from that car was recovered at the scene. Surveillance footage from a nearby residence did not capture the shooting but recorded the suspect’s voice immediately after the gunshots, and detectives appealed to the public for information that might identify the shooter.

Did anyone in North Knoxville hear or see anything on the evening of January 17 that could help identify the vehicle or the person involved?
