OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - A jury has found an Omaha man guilty of manslaughter and other counts in the 2015 death of a woman whose body was found in a vacant house.

The Omaha World-Herald reports that 33-year-old Reginald Briggs was found guilty Friday of manslaughter, two gun counts and pandering in the September 2015 death of 31-year-old Teresa Longo.

Police say Briggs killed Longo with a single shot to the back of her head inside an Omaha flophouse. Investigators say Longo had a young daughter and was homeless when Briggs offered her a place to stay in exchange for working for him as a prostitute.
