Four-Year Search for Answers in Deadly Western Heights Shooting Continues
The city of Knoxville is still seeking closure four years after a tragic shooting in the Western Heights area precipitated a prolonged homicide investigation. The Knoxville Police Department (KPD) is still active in this unsettling case which left a woman dead outside an apartment on Better Tomorrow Drive.
A Cold Morning, A Cold-Blooded Crime
Knoxville Police Department members were called to the Western Heights Apartments early in the morning. Responding to reports of an unresponsive person, they discovered Katelyn Slivenski, lifeless, outside an apartment building.
The Continuing Search for Answers
Without concrete answers and struggling to solve the case years after the incident, KPD utilized X, formerly known as Twitter, to ask the public for assistance. They discussed the unsolved case of Katelyn Slivenski, seeking any information that may lead to a resolution. “Four years ago, 24-year-old Katelyn Slivenski was shot and killed in Northwest Knoxville.
