After going to the hospital to check on her grandfather, Savanna Parrish reportedly went to the campsite and confronted Gibson.
McCluskey said witness statements indicate the two got into a fight inside a camper and Parrish walked out.
“A minute or so later, witnesses said she went back into the camper and they started fighting again,” he said.
Authorities said witnesses reported that Gibson grabbed a knife, but Parrish stabbed him first.
Gibson reportedly began stabbing Parrish repeatedly and then kicked her in the face, knocking her out the door and outside the camper, investigators said.
“This was all senseless,” Willis said. “This started out about money between Gibson and her granddaddy. It got out of hand, things went too far and we ended up with a young woman being stabbed to death.”
===================
Could be why it was not ruled as murder. She made choices that led to her death. Being armed with a knife and confronting him in the first place, leaving unharmed, but going back in to fight again, stabbing him first, then having to be backed out the door.
