Walter Andrew Neal, 32, of Knoxville, Tennessee, was fatally shot on April 20, 2017, after letting a visitor into a residence on Trigg Avenue in East Knoxville. The visitor, Christopher Leon Clark, then 37, confronted Neal about an insult reportedly made earlier that day and shot Neal three times at close range while Neal was seated on a couch. Clark fled the scene but turned himself in the next day.

Clark was indicted on first-degree murder and unlawful possession of a weapon. At a three-day trial the jury convicted him of premeditated murder; prosecutors presented witness testimony and other evidence about the April confrontation. Clark’s criminal history included a prior voluntary manslaughter conviction. At sentencing the judge imposed life with a minimum of 51 years before parole consideration; family members delivered victim-impact statements during the hearing.

If anyone knew Walter Neal or was in East Knoxville on April 20, 2017, does any detail about that day stand out or help fill gaps in the timeline?
