In the late summer of 2015, the life of a young Knoxville man was tragically cut short, leaving a family in mourning and a community with unanswered questions. On Sunday, September 20, 2015, 19-year-old Kameron Dewayne Mills was found deceased in a quiet neighborhood. His body was discovered lying outside a house at 2029 Goforth Avenue, a residence that had stood vacant for a considerable time.
Details surrounding the circumstances of his death suggest a violent end, and the case was
quickly classified as a homicide. Investigators began the arduous process of piecing together the final moments of the young man's life, seeking clues and any information that might lead to a break in the case. Despite their efforts, the investigation into Kameron Mills' death has remained open and is now considered a cold case.
In the years that have passed since his death, no arrests have been made, and no suspects have been publicly identified in connection with the murder of Kameron Dewayne Mills. The Knoxville Police Department continues to list his case among its unsolved homicides, a somber reminder of a life taken too soon and a quest for justice that has yet to find its conclusion. The family of Kameron Mills was left to grieve their profound loss, holding a funeral service for him on Friday, September 25, 2015, at the New Friendship Missionary Baptist Church, before laying him to rest at Mount Olive Cemetery.
