On the evening of April 27, 2009, 26-year-old Joshua Whittington was shot on McConnell Street in East Knoxville while intervening in a dispute involving his younger brother. He was taken to the University of Tennessee Medical Center, where he died of his injuries. Police treated the killing as part of a wider episode of violence that night; a second shooting on Ben Hur Avenue occurred shortly after, and investigators believed people fled the McConnell Street scene before that second incident.

Authorities quickly identified a suspect. A 17-year-old male, Victor Harris, was arrested and charged with second-degree murder and scheduled for a Knox County Juvenile Court hearing. The case arose from a continuing dispute among young men, which escalated into deadly violence.

Does anyone have further information about the outcome or knew Joshua or his family?
