Knoxville, TN (WOKI) Knoxville police say an argument over dog excrement is what led to a deadly shooting Saturday at a home in North Knoxville.
Thirty-four year-old Stefen White is charged with second-degree murder after police were called to the home in the 400 block of East Oldham Avenue Saturday, December 23 and found a man inside who had been shot at least once. Despite life-saving efforts on scene, he was pronounced dead as a result of his injuries.
According to Knoxville Police Department officials, an argument over White not picking up his dog’s waste from the yard he shared with the victim led to the fatal shooting. They say White pulled a handgun and shot the victim in the chest.
The shooting remains under investigation by detectives with KPD’s Homicide Unit.
