(AP) -- BENTON, Mo. (AP) -- A judge has found a 20-year-old southeast Missouri girl not guilty of killing another teenager by hitting her with a truck in 2010.

Scott County officials say Brianna Branson of Miner was found not guilty Wednesday on all three counts in the death of 18-year-old Kendra Gray in July 2010 in Sikeston.

Branson was charged with second-degree murder, armed criminal action and second-degree assault.

Prosecutors alleged Branson hit and killed Gray with a pickup truck after the two fought at an underage drinking party in Sikeston. The two reportedly had been feuding for months.

Branson waived a jury trial and a bench trial was held Wednesday.
