FAYETTEVILLE -- A Rogers woman pleaded not guilty Monday to manslaughter and other charges related to a Springdale home invasion that ended with a man being fatally shot.

Kaili Brooke Cogdill, 21, also pleaded not guilty to residential burglary, forgery and failure to appear.

She was given an Aug. 10 court date before Washington County Circuit Judge Mark Lindsay.

The shooting happened May 14 at 4533 Greens Drive, according to a preliminary arrest report.

Police found a 21-year-old man lying on the sidewalk with multiple gunshot wounds, according to a news release. The man died at Northwest Medical Center, authorities said.

Police said Jalen Tims, 21, was involved in the burglary and killed by the apartment resident, Clinton Pruitt. Pruitt, 29, told police he fired his weapon at Tims, who kicked in his door with the help of Cogdill at 6:57 a.m.

Tims fled but collapsed on the sidewalk and Cogdill left in a silver car, police said.

Springdale detectives determined Pruitt and Cogdill were acquaintances and had met through an online dating app, according to police.

Cogdill is being held at the Washington County Jail in lieu of bond.
