KNOX COUNTY SHERIFF ARRESTS 15-YEAR-OLD BOY FOR MURDER

On October 22, 2024, The Knox County Sheriff’s Office responded to a report of a body on a dirt walking trail behind a community pool in Broadacres Subdivision in the Powell Community. Deputies arrived at the 7700 block of Cranley Road a short time later and confirmed a deceased female on the dirt trail. Detectives from Major Crimes and Juvenile Crimes and the Knox County Medical Examiner arrived and began collecting evidence and processing the scene. Later in the evening, Detectives arrested a fifteen-year-old male from Powell and charged him with second-degree murder. The suspect is being held at the Richard L. Bean Detention Facility.
This is an active and ongoing investigation, and therefore, additional charges may be brought.
“I am grateful to everyone at the Knox County Sheriff’s Office for their hard work and diligence in this case,” said Knox County Sheriff Tom Spangler. “I also want to thank the Knox County School System for their assistance and cooperation. We ask you to keep the family of the victim, the Powell community, and our responding personnel in your prayers. As law enforcement professionals, nothing can prepare us for days like yesterday.”
