KNOXVILLE (WATE) - Knoxville police say they are continuing to investigate the armed robbery of several East Knoxville residents in their home Friday night, but the victims are not helping much.
A shot was fired during the home invasion in the 3000 block of East Fifth Avenue. Police say four women and two men who said they had been robbed at gunpoint.
The names of the victims were released Monday. They are:
- John Jack, 44
- Ebony Burton, 31
- Chasity Clemons, 37
- Lataya Dixon, 32
- Carvin Dupont, 39
