KNOXVILLE: Death of Knoxville fire captain’s son ignites debate over illegal immigration.

The death of 22-year-old Pierce Corcoran has brought home to Knoxville the heated national debate over illegal immigration and the need for a border wall.

Corcoran is the son of Knoxville Fire Capt. D.J. Corcoran, also the department’s spokesman.

Franco Cambrany Francisco-Eduardo, 44, of Oak Ridge, was arrested in connection with the wreck that killed the Grace Christian Academy graduate earlier this week. Police say he swerved into oncoming traffic on Chapman Highway, killing Corcoran on Saturday. He is charged with criminally negligent homicide and driving without a license or insurance.
