(WXYZ) — Wayne County prosecutors have charged a 24-year-old woman with murder in the homicide of Kabria Arnold.
Gabrielle Marie Brantley is charged with one count each of First Degree Premeditated Murder, Assault on a Pregnant Woman- Intentionally Causing Miscarriage/Stillbirth and two counts of Felony Firearm in the death of the 20-year-old.
She was arraigned on the charges Thursday afternoon and remanded to jail.

- Police say love triangle may be behind murder of pregnant UM-Dearborn softball player
Brantley was arrested on November 18, following the police investigation. The case remains under investigation.
She is due back in court for a probable cause hearing on Dec. 5.
Arnold was pregnant when her body was found last week Sunday, not long after she left work at a nearby Meijer.
She had been shot to death near a vacant house on Bentler near Pilgrim on Detroit's west side.
A woman who lives near the intersection said she recalls hearing a series of gunshots late that night, followed by a short pause and then two more shots.
Police arrested a 28-year-old man, in addition to the 24-year-old Brantley. We're told the man had been involved with both Arnold and Brantley. The family says Kabria was no longer involved with the male suspect prior to her death. He has not been charged.
Chief Craig said investigators are trying to determine if a love triangle was the motive for murdering Arnold.
