A 25-year-old Illinois woman, Gabrielle Stine, will spend decades behind bars for the 2023 murder of her boyfriend, 31-year-old Jamere Bew. The victim was beaten to death with a baseball bat and shot, and Stine took pictures and videos of his dying boyfriend before his demise.

As reported by The Pantagraph, Stine was sentenced to 40 years in prison on Tuesday, September 30. She pleaded guilty to first-degree murder for her role in Bew’s 2023 death, with the prosecution dismissing charges of aggravated kidnapping and residential burglary as part of the plea agreement.

“The details surrounding this case are horrific, and the knowledge that the victim’s family and friends now carry of the victim’s final moments is a burden nobody should have to endure,” State’s Attorney Erika Reynolds said.
