A Roane County grand jury has indicted 25-year-old Breanna Gayle Devall Runions on charges including murder for the death of 4-year-old Evangaline Gunter.

Runions also faces aggravated child neglect, felony reckless endangerment with a weapon, and two counts of aggravated child abuse.

The incident happened at a home on Airport Road on August 27, 2023.

Authorities say Runions brought out a 9mm firearm, called Gunter over to her, and then shot her in the chest. A girlfriend of Runions and another child were in the same room but didn’t witness the shooting.

Runions will be arraigned in Roane County Criminal Court this Monday (October 23, 2023).
