MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. – Kaden Elizabeth Gilbert, 22, was sentenced to federal prison last week for pleading guilty to second-degree murder on the Isabella Reservation.

According to court records, Gilbert went to the victim’s residence on the reservation and intentionally stabbed the victim with a knife in November 2020. Officials said the stabbing caused the victim to lose a significant amount of blood, and that caused them to pass away.
