The 11-year-old girl who watched Brian Riley gun down her family in the bathroom where they hid Sunday morning told her afterward he killed her parents because they were sex traffickers, Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd told news reporters Thursday.
Detectives say the Brandon suspect was in Lakeland to rescue a non-existent victim from the Gleason family’s house on North Socrum Loop Road. Five family members were shot; four died and an 11-year-old girl, Aubry Gleason, pretended to be dead after being shot, but survived.
Two GoFundMe sites have been set up to help with the funeral expenses and with Aubry’s hospital bills at Tampa General Hospital.
