Paul Butler Knox, 41, was fatally shot while walking his dog near his Los Angeles home on September 26, 2023. The shooting occurred at about 9:28 a.m. at 1630 South Saint Andrews Place; the Los Angeles County Coroner ruled the death a homicide from multiple gunshot wounds.

Knox was a sound designer who moved from Baton Rouge to Los Angeles in 2017 to further his film career. His credits include Fear Street: Part Two - 1978 (2021), Us (2019), and God’s Not Dead (2014). He earned two Emmy nominations and three Golden Reel nominations, and was active in the rock climbing community.

A suspect was arrested on October 11, 2023, and booked in connection with the killing; the suspect remains in custody awaiting trial and the investigation is ongoing. Memorials were held in Baton Rouge and Los Angeles, and a GoFundMe was organized to help his family.

Did anyone in the film or climbing communities have contact with Paul in the days before September 26 who might share information?
