Mother And Father Indicted In Murder Of 7-Month-Old Son

11/30/2022

A West Tennessee couple has been indicted for the death of their 7-month-old baby boy.

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) says parents Ashley Long, 29, and Christopher Gardner, 38, have been found responsible for the death of Max Long on June 23.

Authorities said that Gardner and Long have two other “young children” who lived with them in the Laurel Street house whom they are also suspected of abusing and neglecting. The other children in the house were not identified by investigators.

Gardner and Long were both taken into custody after bringing Max to the hospital and have remained behind bars at the Fayette County Jail since June 23. Authorities on Tuesday served each parent with warrants on the six indicted charges.

A judge set the bond for each parent at $1,000,000.
