Knoxville Police say a woman is charged with reckless homicide and convicted felon in possession of a weapon following an extensive investigation by the KPD Violent Crimes Unit into a shooting that happened on Gaston Avenue.
42 year-old Keysha Hall is charged in the July 7th shooting at an apartment that resulted in the death of 34-year-old Anthony Hickman, who was taken off life support several days after that shooting.
Investigators were initially told that Hickman had possibly been shot as a result of an accidental self-inflicted discharge. However, the continued investigation revealed that Hall was holding the weapon after Hickman told her it was unloaded. Hall pointed the gun at Hickman and pulled the trigger, which discharged a round that struck Hickman.
Investigators say Hall was convicted of robbery in 2017 and prohibited from possessing a weapon.
