Man accused of killing ex-girlfriend’s 2-year-old daughter found guilty of 3rd degree murder
A man who was on trial for killing his ex-girlfriend’s 2-year-old daughter in 2021 has been found guilty of third-degree murder.
Kyrell Morgan took the stand in his own defense last week, telling the jury he “never hurt Brielle Swinton in any way shape or form.”

The jury deliberated all day Tuesday before reaching a verdict Wednesday afternoon.
