From wate.com:
"The Knoxville Police Department is using a video dramatizing a murder from more than six years ago to ask for help as they continue to investigate a homicide.
Robert "Ernie" Reno, then 40, was found face down in a yard in the 4100 block of Selma Avenue on November 12, 2011. Police said autopsy results showed he had been shot multiple times.
Police had been called to the area a few hours earlier for a shots fired call, but did not find anything suspicious.
He lived about a block away on Skyline Drive and was known to ride a bicycle and go around the neighborhood collecting aluminum cans. He had been seen earlier in the evening at a market on Holston Drive and walked from there to a friend's house before going home.
Knoxville police released a video Wednesday afternoon showing a reenactment of Reno's murder and the discovery of his body."

Thoughts? I applaud the Knoxville P.D. for their innovative use in attempting to solve Ernie Reno's case, sort of like a localized version of America's Most Wanted.
