Knoxville, TN (WOKI) Knoxville police say a Grand Jury finding brings closure to the unsolved 1989 Murder of KPD officer Tony Williams.

The investigation into the 1989 murder of the off-duty officer is officially closed after a Knox County Grand Jury determined there was probable cause to charge a now-deceased individual with his murder.

The Grand Jury returned a finding that there was probable cause to believe that Johnny Warwick, who died last November, committed the first-degree murder of Williams in July of 1989.

Officer Williams was shot and killed while riding his motorcycle on Cherry Street near I-40 while off duty.
