KNOXVILLE – Authorities have identified the man who was killed in an officer-involved shooting in the city of Knoxville last week.

The Knoxville Police Department reported last week that on the evening of Thursday, August 21, at approximately 11:10pm, officers responded to a domestic disturbance in the 300 block of Roche Street. There, they encountered 47-year-old Knoxville resident Steven Funk, who was allegedly assaulting an adult female. During the incident, an officer fired his weapon, striking Funk. Funk was transported to a Des Moines area hospital, but despite life-saving efforts from officers on scene, Knoxville EMS personnel, and hospital staff, the gunshot proved to be fatal, as Funk was pronounced dead at the hospital.

The adult female involved in the incident was treated at a local hospital and has since been released.
