Brunn, a 20-year-old maintenance man at the complex, faces 13 felony counts in connection with the Dec. 2, 2011, slaying of Jorelys Rivera, including murder, aggravated assault, aggravated battery, cruelty to children in the first degree, aggravated child molestation, false imprisonment, enticing a child for indecent purposes, sexual exploitation of children, making false statements and abandonment of a dead body.
The indictment also indicates that Brunn had sexually explicit photographs of a young girl in his possession.
Cherokee County District Attorney Gary Moss said he will announce whether or not he will seek the death penalty at Brunn's arraignment, which has not yet been scheduled.
