ROANE COUNTY, TN – An investigation conducted by special agents from the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI), in collaboration with the Roane County Sheriff’s Office, has resulted in the arrest of a Knox County man on charges of first-degree murder.

The investigation commenced on January 27th, following a request from 9th Judicial District Attorney General Russell Johnson to probe statements made by 25-year-old Zachary Lowe (DOB 04/13/1998) concerning a homicide. As agents carried out their inquiry, they discovered the victim's body in an abandoned structure located near the 4600 block of Decatur Highway in Ten Mile. The identity of the victim is currently being withheld while authorities work to inform next of kin.

In light of the findings, TBI agents secured a warrant for Lowe, charging him with one count of First Degree Murder. He was subsequently detained and booked into the Roane County Jail without the possibility of bond.

It is important to note that the charges and allegations mentioned in this release are accusations of criminal conduct and do not constitute evidence. The defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt and convicted through the legal process.
