After a manhunt that extended for days, Knoxville law enforcement officials have reported the arrest of an 18-year-old suspect wanted for attempted murder. Robert Brabson was apprehended last night by members of the Knoxville Police Department's Community Engagement Response Team. Taken into custody without incident, Brabson was found in an apartment on West Parkway Avenue, according to the Knoxville Police Department's social media post.
Wanted on serious charges, Brabson is facing counts of attempted first-degree murder and the employment of a firearm during the commission of a dangerous felony. These charges are stemming from a shooting incident that occurred on Sunday, on E. Hill Avenue, in which authorities did not report whether there were any victims injured during the incident.
The Knoxville Police Department has not yet released further details regarding Brabson's capture or the specifics of the evidence leading to his charges. However, they have provided a link for more information on the ongoing case, directing individuals to their official website. The facts surrounding the case and subsequent arrest remain scant as the investigation continues to unfold.
