KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — A 27-year-old is facing three charges after he shot at two people in the Old City and drove away, according to an arrest warrant.
The shooting occurred around 7:40 p.m. on Saturday, April 15, on N. Central Street and Willow Avenue, the warrant states.
An argument broke out between Walter Hill and the victim while in a 2009 gray Chevy Impala. The victim's son was also in the car, the warrant stated.
Hill threw something at the victim, who was driving, and then hit them several times in the face. While hitting the victim, Hill threatened to kill them, according to the warrant.
The victim swerved while Hill was hitting them and almost struck a pedestrian, the warrant states.
The victim then stopped the car and went to grab their son with Hill still punching them. The victim shielded their son as Hill shot at them from inside the car, according to the warrant.
The victim and their son ran for safety as Hill fled the scene in the Impala, the warrant states.
Officers later located the car and attempted to pull over Hill. He fled but later turned himself in, according to KPD.
Hill is charged with attempted second-degree murder, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and evading arrest.
