Suspect in Fatal Chisago Co. Stabbing Sentenced to over 18 Years in Prison

The two suspects in the Chisago County stabbing case that left one man dead last May have been sentenced.


According to the criminal complaint, Justin Valian reportedly stabbed the 28-year-old victim in the chest with a knife following an argument between the second suspect Courtney Pilz-Carr and the victim.


Pilz Carr pled guilty to aiding an offender late last year and was sentenced to 58 months in prison in February.


Valian pled guilty to 2nd-degree unintentional murder in March of this year and was sentenced to 225 months in prison with credit for time served on April 16.
