Daevon Montez Saint-Germain
Age :18
Gender :Male
Race : Black
Date : 01/05/2025
Location : 7800 block of Sevierville Pike
City : Knoxville
County : Knox
State : Tennessee
Agency : Knoxville Police Department
Officer(s) : Not disclosed
Cause of Death : Gunshot
Event : Killed by police during search raid
OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
On January 5, 2025, Knox County Sheriff's Office deputies executed a search warrant at a residence in the 7800 block of Sevierville Pike in Knoxville, Tennessee. During the operation, deputies encountered 18-year-old Daevon Montez Saint-Germain, who allegedly displayed a firearm. SWAT deputies opened fire, killing him. His grandmother, who was in the home, disputes the police narrative and states that "he was asleep when police barged in" and killed him. His family stated that he was graduating from high school and had bought a box truck and was excited about starting his own business as a delivery driver.
.
The incident happened because police had been monitoring Daevon Montez Saint-Germain's social media activity. According to search warrants, he had posted content on Instagram that included rap lyrics and references to marijuana sales. These posts contributed to the decision to execute a search warrant at his residence. The shooting has sparked significant backlash within the community. Critics argue that the use of Saint-Germain's social media posts as justification for the raid was an overreach. Community members have expressed outrage over the incident, leading to protests and demands for accountability.
.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation is conducting an inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the shooting.
