RICEVILLE, Tenn. (WATE) — A shooting in McMinn County Saturday morning has left four people dead. A 10-month-old was missing after the incident but was found safe Saturday evening and will be released to DSC custody, according to McMinn County Sheriff’s Department.
MCSO Sheriff Joe Guy said around 9 a.m., officers responded to a report of a shooting at a residence on County Road 60 in Riceville. Officers found the residence after speaking with two witnesses who had escaped the shooting. It was then that they found one man and three women dead from gunshot wounds.
MCSO identified the victims as Trevon Hall, 36; Skylar Hawn, 24; Jesse Dupree, 40; and Brandi Harris, 39.
“It appears that there were initially six people present at the residence,” said Sheriff Guy, “When a male suspect and a female suspect arrived after 8 a.m. There was some kind of dispute that took place between the female suspect and the male victim over a 10-month old whom they are the parents of. At some point, the dispute turned violent and the four victims were shot. One witness escaped and the other pretended to be injured and survived. The suspected then took the child and left the scene.“
