Benny G. Jones Jr. was found dead on the evening of Monday, October 13, 1997, at 1600 Island Home Avenue in Knoxville, Tennessee. Authorities at the scene determined his death to be a homicide, but public information released about the case is sparse: no motive or specific manner of death has been disclosed.

Despite more than two decades passing, the Knoxville Police Department lists his killing among the city’s unsolved homicides from the 1990s. Investigators have not publicly identified any suspects, and no arrests have been announced, leaving the case cold and his family without answers.

If anyone knew Benny, saw activity around 1600 Island Home Avenue on or before October 13, 1997, or has information that could help, please come forward. What did you see or hear that night?
