KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — One person is dead after a shooting on Tuesday, Jan. 17 in North Knoxville, according to the Knoxville Police Department.
The shooting happened on Bradshaw Garden Road after a traffic crash, according to KPD.
A driver confronted 30-year-old Jeronimo Gomez, a "suspected" fight occurred and the suspect shot Gomez, KPD said.
Gomez was transported to the University of Tennessee Medical Center where he was pronounced dead, KPD said.
KPD said the suspect left the scene before officers arrived. The suspect's car is believed to be a 2012 Midnight Black Toyota Camry with light-colored rims. It should have front-end and driver's-side damage from the crash and a missing door handle.
Investigators believe that the suspect could have taken the car to an area or regional repair shop and are asking for any shops that recently worked on a vehicle matching that description to contact the Knoxville Police Department, according to KPD.
KPD investigators obtained surveillance footage from a nearby home. The shooting is not captured in the video. However, the suspect's voice is heard on the video immediately following the gunshots.
Anyone with information about the suspect should reach out to the East Tennessee Valley Crime Stoppers at 865-215-7165. People can also share information online, through their website.
The investigation is ongoing.
