According to court documents, Riley Barger was found not guilty of one count of voluntary manslaughter in connection to the stabbing death of 27-year-old Brianna Wilson.

Police records showed Barger and Wilson had a dispute about Barger living with Wilson. News Center 7 previously reported that an officer noted in the police report that Wilson told them, “Riley was supposed to be there for a few days, but he’s been there for over a month.”
Officers cleared the scene after Barger gained entry into the house. Shortly after, police received a 911 call reporting a stabbing at the residence.
Medics took Wilson to Wilson Health, where she died from her injuries.
