KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) – Three people have been indicted for murder in a 2024 overdose death, according to a news release from the Knoxville Police Department.
It’s the latest news out of KPD’s Department Organized Crime Unit and the Drug Related Death Task Force. The release said three people, 50-year-old Anne Miller, 33-year-old Brandon Light and 40-year-old Amber Perry, had been indicted in 27-year-old Kevin Kilgore’s death after a lengthy investigation.
“In late October, Miller, Light and Perry were indicted by a Knox County grand jury for second-degree murder and sale and delivery of fentanyl,” KPD said. “Perry was located and arrested by KPD officers on November 2 at a motel on Merchant Center Boulevard, while Light and Miller were located and arrested by Knox County Sheriff’s Office deputies on Nov. 12.”
Kilgore overdosed on fentanyl, killing him, KPD said. The department also said the three suspects gave him the fentanyl that killed him, leading to their indictments for second-degree murder and sale and delivery of fentanyl.
The Drug Related Death Task Force is a partnership between several agencies — the Knox County District Attorney General’s Office, Knoxville Police Department, Knox County Sheriff’s Office, Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, Drug Enforcement Administration and Knox County Regional Forensic Center.
It was created under the direction of the Appalachia High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (AHIDTA).
