(KSL News) A man stabbed when he broke into a Cedar City home may have planned out the crime.

Investigators say they've seized evidence that supports that theory.

19-year-old C.J. Harris from Las Vegas broke into the home of his former employer, Steve Barnhardt, early Wednesday morning. Barnhardt's son stabbed Harris in self-defense.

No charges are expected to be filed against the Barnhardt family or their son.

Police are not sure if the attack was revenge for being fired or a robbery.
