Tashawn Forbes, 21, was shot and killed in the evening of September 10, 2019, on the 3800 block of Selma Avenue in Knoxville, Tennessee. Officers arrived shortly after 8:10 p.m. and found Forbes with what appeared to be a gunshot wound to the head; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators recovered shell casings in the road, and the evidence suggested Forbes may have been struck in a drive-by shooting. The Knoxville Police Department’s Violent Crimes Unit opened an active homicide investigation; no suspects had been identified and no arrests were announced the following morning. Subsequent public updates have been sparse, and the case has produced no public arrest announcements or identified suspects in the years since.

If anyone has information about that night on Selma Avenue or about Tashawn’s death, please come forward to assist the investigation.
