The morning of the shooting, a gray Toyota 4Runner was stolen from a West Knoxville home, according to the post, which was shared by the Knoxville Police Department. That afternoon, Hill, a plumber, was working at a Boright Drive home. As he worked, the stolen 4Runner circled the area, seemingly watching Hill work, ETVCS said; this was caught on camera.
