Knox County DA Closes Investigation into the Shooting Death of KCSO Deputy Tucker Blakely

Knox County District Attorney Charme Allen says she’s reviewed and closed the case file involving the shooting and death of Knox County Deputy Tucker Blakely and the suspect involved in the case.

Deputies Blakely and James Loft responded to a domestic call in October in West Knox County. Officials say when they got there they found an armed man inside the home, that’s when shots were fired and Blakely was hit and killed.

Investigators say Deputy Loft returned fire killing the suspect.

Allen says those actions by Deputy Lloft were justified, he will not face any charges and the investigation is closed.
