Demetrius Lamont Johnson, 25, was shot in the late afternoon of November 29, 2023, in the south Halls Crossroads area of Knoxville, Tennessee. Deputies were called about the shooting at about 3:48 p.m. and went to 6408 Maynardville Pike near Rifle Range Road and Brown Gap Road, where Johnson was found with life-threatening gunshot wounds. He was taken to a nearby hospital and later pronounced dead.

Investigators described the shooting as appearing to be an isolated or targeted incident. Johnson had previously been wounded in a May 2017 shooting at the Green Hills Apartments in East Knoxville when he was 19. As of early December 2023 no suspects had been publicly identified and no arrests announced; detectives asked anyone with information or surveillance footage from the area to contact the Knox County Sheriff’s Office.

If anyone knew Johnson or saw activity near Maynardville Pike that afternoon, can you share what you know with investigators?
