On the evening of Sunday, May 28, 2017, Charles Chucky Norman Brown, 53, was shot in the front yard of his home at 1921 E. Fifth Avenue in Knoxville, Tennessee. The shooting occurred at about 5:15 p.m. during what investigators described as an interaction with another individual. Brown was taken to UT Medical Center with life-threatening injuries and later died of those wounds, prompting a homicide investigation by the Knoxville Police Department.

Friends and family remembered Brown as energetic, lively, friendly, God-fearing, and loving. He was survived by his father, two daughters, and several siblings. The investigation has struggled for leads; by late 2021 no suspects, clear motive, or arrests had been announced, and a cash reward was offered for information leading to an arrest.

Does anyone who lived near East Fifth Avenue in 2017 or who knew Charles have information that could help move this case forward?
