Knoxville Police Department Seeks Attempted Murder Suspect

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) – The Knoxville Police Department is actively searching for a suspect involved in an attempted murder case, according to Communications Manager Scott Erland’s statement to WVLT News on Wednesday.

The suspect, identified as 25-year-old Stephon Davidson, has been charged with attempted first-degree murder and possession of a firearm by a felon. The investigation was launched following a shooting incident on McConnell Street that occurred on Tuesday night, Erland confirmed.

In response to a distress call, police swiftly arrived at an apartment situated on the 300 block of McConnell Street around 10 p.m., as reported by Erland. Upon arrival, they discovered a 28-year-old male victim who had sustained gunshot wounds. The injured individual was promptly transported to the University of Tennessee Medical Center for medical attention.
