Pre-trial Hearing Planned For Jensen-Rowe

A pre-trial hearing is scheduled on Monday, April 7, for a Wolf Point woman who is accused of stabbing her sister to death.

Brianna Jensen-Rowe will have her pre-trial hearing at 1:15 p.m. in the Roosevelt County Courthouse.

She is facing the felony charges of deliberate homicide and tampering with evidence.

A 10-day jury trial is scheduled to begin on Monday, April 28, in the case.

Jensen-Rowe is accused on killing her sister, Jalinn Marie Jensen-Rowe on Aug. 3, 2024, in Wolf Point.

A person convicted of deliberate homicide could be punished by death, by life imprisonment, or by imprisonment in the state prison for a term of not less than 10 years or more than 100 years.

According to court records, including an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, a Fort Peck Tribes Department of Law and Justice officer was dispatched at approximately 8:18 p.m. on Aug. 3 for a reported stabbing. The officer observed the victim on the ground gasping for air.

When the officer attempted to speak with the victim, she said the defendant stabbed her.

The victim then began fading in and out of consciousness. The victim was later pronounced dead at the hospital in Wolf Point.

On Aug. 19, 2024, the State of Montana charged the defendant with four counts: deliberate homicide, tampering with physical evidence, criminal possession of drug paraphernalia and obstructing a peace officer.
