In a cruel twist of betrayal, the family of 16-year-old Trey Wright alleges that his girlfriend, 17-year-old Gianna Kistenmacher, orchestrated his murder—and even showed up at the hospital afterward. Just two days prior, Wright reportedly told relatives that his burgeoning relationship felt like a dream come true.
Authorities allege Kistenmacher arranged for Wright to confront a group of teens, including armed 19-year-old Devan Raper, under the impression it would be a fistfight. Instead, Wright was ambushed and fatally shot. Kistenmacher is now charged as an accessory before the fact and was later taken into custody.
Shocking the family further, Kistenmacher reportedly appeared at the hospital while Wright was being treated—before his death had even been confirmed. His mother, Ashley Lindsey, comforted her, unaware of her alleged role in setting up her son’s fatal encounter.
A total of nine teenagers have since been charged in connection to the incident—seven as adults—in what law enforcement describes as a planned and tragic setup.
