The Knoxville Police Department is on the hunt for an assault suspect known as "Snoop," accused of multiple attacks within an East Knoxville community. According to WVLT, the man allegedly assaulted a resident at Isabella Towers on April 3, followed by two additional assaults on April 11.

Authorities are describing the suspect as a roughly 6-foot-3-inch tall male, with a weight fluctuating between 170 and 190 pounds. As the search intensifies, anonymous tips are encouraged, and informants may even be entitled to a cash reward should their information lead to an arrest. The WATE report notes that anyone with knowledge about "Snoop's" whereabouts, or identity, is urged to step forward.

In their bid to solicit public assistance, KPD shared two photographs of the man believed to be responsible for these violent encounters at Isabella Towers, a notable landmark within the Morningside Community. Such images, officials hope, will aid in his swift identification and capture.

To maintain informant confidentiality, multiple avenues have been provided for tip submission, including the East Tennessee Valley Crime Stoppers phone line and online platforms. According to 66Next, individuals can call 865-215-7165, or **TIPS, or visit the East Tennessee Valley Crime Stoppers' official website, their Facebook page or utilize the free P3 Tips mobile app. All tipsters, are assured to remain anonymous.
