MCLEAN COUNTY, ILLINOIS - A Bloomington woman was sentenced Tuesday to 40-years in prison for killing her boyfriend almost two-years ago.
Gabrielle Stine, who turns 25 on Wednesday, is the third person pleading guilty to first degree murder for the death of 31-year-old Jamere Bew on Thanksgiving weekend of 2023.
Stine’s initially denied involvement in the killing, but prosecutors said she took photographs and a video of Bew bound and bleeding in a Bloomington apartment.
Bew was beaten with a baseball bat at the Springfield Road apartment before being shot and left for dead in a ditch off Route 136, between McLean and Heyworth.
In return for Stine’s guilty plea, the state’s attorney’s office dismissed aggravated kidnapping and residential burglary charges.
