The Sequatchie County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a homicide that is believed to have occurred early on March 8, 2025. Deputies were dispatched to the Emergency Room at Erlanger-Sequatchie on the report of a female with stab wounds that were determined to be non-life-threatening. Deputies determined the victim received the wounds at a residence in the Fredonia community of Sequatchie County and went to that location to search for any other potential victims or suspects, as well as a crime scene.

Upon arrival, deputies found two other individuals, both males, with wounds appearing to have been caused by a cutting instrument. One of these two male individuals was deceased, and the other had non-life-threatening wounds.

It is believed that deputies and investigators have detained everyone directly involved in this incident. Due to the nature of the incident and the fact that family members have not yet been notified, names will not be released at this time. The Sheriff’s Office anticipates criminal charges will be filed in relation to this incident within the next few hours. They also anticipate there will be an updated release available at that time, providing names, location address, etc.
