Knoxville Man Facing Charges after Break-In, Attempted Murder, Police Say

Knoxville, TN (WOKI) A Knoxville man is charged with multiple counts of attempted murder following an investigation into a shooting Friday night in northwest Knoxville.

Knoxville Police Department officials say 32-year-old Davante Gamble was taken into custody following reports of an alleged break-in at a home on Thomas Street.

KPD says the victim, a 32-year-old woman, reported that she and two other individuals were en route to the home following a notification via her RING camera and crossed paths with the vehicle suspected of being involved in the burglary.

The passenger of that vehicle allegedly fired multiple rounds at the victim’s vehicle, striking it at least once. No one was struck or injured in the shooting.

Gamble was later identified as the suspect in the shooting; he is charged with three counts of attempted first-degree murder, one count of aggravated burglary and one count of employing a firearm with the intent to go armed.
