Blackburn.<\/p>\n<p>Jaycene Littledeer Colorow, 19, was sentenced to serve 10 years in federal prison, followed by five years of supervised release, said Jeff Dorschner, a spokesman for the U.S. Department of Justice.<\/p>\n<p>Colorow was arrested in the early hours of Feb. 8, 2016, after a fight at a Towaoc residence on Lafayette Street.<\/p>\n<p>She was charged with second-degree murder of her sister, Keisha Colorow, 19, who had a 2-year-old son. According to a plea agreement, federal prosecutors recommended a 14-year prison sentence. Jaycene Colorow originally pleaded not guilty but changed her plea on Dec. 7. In May, she was released from jail on an unsecured $100,000 bond, and placed in a halfway house pending further court action.<\/p>\n<p>According to a federal affidavit, the sisters, both members of the Ute Mountain Ute tribe, had been drinking when the crime occurred. A witness stated they were fighting over \u201ca stupid cell phone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Keisha Colorow enjoyed softball, volleyball and dancing, according to the Ertel Funeral Home obituary.<\/p>\n<p>Known as \u201cKeish,\u201d she also enjoyed participating in the Bear Dance and singing at Sun Dance.
