Overview
- Avon and Somerset Police said prosecutors have approved a charge against Kelcie Reed for having a dog dangerously out of control that caused a death, with a hearing set for April 23 at Bristol Magistrates' Court.
- The case concerns the death of 19-year-old Morgan Dorsett, who was visiting Bristol from Minsterley in Shropshire when she was attacked in February 2025.
- Emergency crews went to a flat on Cobhorn Drive in Withywood, where they tried to save her but she died at the scene.
- Police say the XL bully involved was caught and sedated at the address, and the dog was destroyed shortly after.
- Two people were arrested after the attack, and officers now say the man will face no further action as a detective called the charging decision a significant milestone and said the family is receiving liaison support.
