A North Carolina boater and his girlfriend, who allegedly crashed into a group of swimmers, killing a 10-year-old girl and causing a woman to have her leg amputated, have been indicted for murder.

Quinten Gregory Kight, 40, the driver of the boat, and his girlfriend, 56-year-old Annemarie Flanigan, who owned the vessel, stand accused of second-degree murder in the death of Brooklyn Mae Carroll. They were already facing charges of death or serious injury by impaired boating.

Kight was behind the wheel of the boat on Aug. 2 when he crashed into three swimmers about 100 feet offshore on the Shearon Harris Reservoir in Chatham County, the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission reportedly said. The crash killed Brooklyn and caused the amputation of Jennifer Stehle”s left leg. Stehle is the mother of one of Brooklyn’s friends.

Flanigan was not driving the boat, nor was she under the influence of alcohol at the time of the crash. However, she was aware Kight was drunk, prosecutors allege. She also wrote a “misleading statement” that claimed she didn’t witness the crash and only came to the scene after she was called, prosecutors said, per local NBC affiliate WRAL.

Brooklyn’s family released the following statement to local media after the indictment.

We have been informed that two people have been charged with second-degree murder related to Brooklyn’s tragic death. While we will not comment at this time on the senseless acts that took Brooklyn from us, we extend our sincere thanks to the law enforcement officials and district attorney’s office who have been diligently working on her case. We also wanted to again thank the community who continues to support our family in our deepest time of need. We miss Brooklyn more than words can express, and we will continue to find ways to celebrate her incredible life and the light that she brought to so many.

Meanwhile, Stehle’s long road to recovery is just at the beginning stages. She also released a statement.

“Our hearts are full of gratitude for the overwhelming support our family has received. The meals, visits, messages, and prayers have been more than acts of kindness,” she and her brother wrote. “They have been lifelines holding us together during the most difficult days of our lives. We feel the strength of those prayers, and we seek God’s goodness in the way this community has come together to lift our family up.”

As Law&Crime previously reported, District Attorney Jeff Nieman revealed additional information during Kight’s first appearance last week. Cops found some 39 beer cans in the boat, plus a half dozen more cans that authorities believe were also in the vessel at the time of the crash, Nieman said, according to a courtroom report from local NBC affiliate WRAL. There was also evidence of people on the boat “shotgunning” beers, per Nieman. Kight reportedly had at least 10 people, including two children, on the boat at the time.

Nieman told the court that Kight wasn’t even looking forward as he was driving the boat, but instead looking back at the people on the inner tube he was hauling.

Authorities took a sample of Kight’s blood to determine the blood alcohol content, but those results have not yet been publicly released.

Brooklyn’s family laid her to rest on Friday.

“BB was a light in every room she entered, with an infectious smile, a loving heart, and a spirit that touched everyone who knew her. Her laughter, kindness, and energy brought so much joy to her family and friends,” a GoFundMe page stated.

The defendants’ next court date is scheduled for Aug. 20. Kight currently has a separate hit-and-run case pending in Moore County, and court records from New Mexico show that he pleaded guilty to DUI in that state in 2010.
