BILLINGS — A woman who admitted to shooting a man to death inside a Shepherd home has been sentenced to prison.
Kennedy Rose Aigner, 24, previously pleaded guilty to deliberate homicide for the Feb. 24, 2024, death of Quaid Fluckiger.
A plea agreement called for prosecutors to dismiss a weapons enhancement and a felony tampering charge in exchange for her plea.
Yellowstone County District Court Judge Jessica Fehr on Wednesday followed a prosecution recommendation and ordered Aigner to serve 55 years at Montana Women's Prison.
The judge also ordered Aigner to pay $2,797 in restitution.
At a hearing in April, Aigner admitted that she shot Fluckiger in the head with a .22-caliber pistol inside a residence on Chicago Road.
Aigner was arrested shortly after deputies responded to a report of an overdose and found the 24-year-old man at the residence and unresponsive.
Deputies attempted to revive Fluckiger with CPR, Narcan, and other procedures, but he was later pronounced dead at a hospital.
Fluckiger's death was later determined to be the result of a gunshot wound to the head.
Aigner admitted to shooting Fluckiger during an argument, and authorities said the firearm used in the shooting was hidden in a garage.
Aigner and Fluckiger lived at the Shepherd residence with their 4-year-old child.
