Three individuals have been arrested and charged with murder following a lengthy Drug Related Death Task Force investigation into a 2024 overdose death.

Anne Miller DOB 2/16/75, Brandon Light DOB 7/10/92 and Amber Perry DOB 7/9/85 were each indicted for second-degree murder and sale and delivery of fentanyl.

The indictments were the result of an investigation led by the Knoxville Police Department Organized Crime Unit and the Drug Related Death Task Force into the overdose death of 27-year-old Devin Kilgore. Kilgore was found dead in a residence on Woodcrest Drive in February 2024. The cause of death was determined to be acute fentanyl intoxication.

The investigation ultimately revealed that Miller, Light and Perry supplied the fentanyl that resulted in Kilgore’s death.

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. 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 November 12.
