Arnold had finished her shift at Meijer. She was a young student-athlete who was studying at University of Michigan-Dearborn and playing on the softball team. She was also pregnant.

Gabrielle Marie Brantley, 24, of Southfield, is accused of shooting Arnold. Brantley was arrested Nov. 18 and is charged with first-degree premeditated murder, assault on a pregnant woman (intentionally causing a miscarriage) and two counts of felony firearm.

She was arraigned after 2 p.m. Thursday at 36th District Court. A probable cause conference is scheduled for Dec. 5, and a preliminary examination is scheduled for Dec. 12.

Brantley was remanded to jail.

Police said earlier this week that a 28-year-old man also was taken into custody in connection with this murder. However, no other charges have been announced.
