Murder in Davenport Ends in Suitors Revenge
Gustav Nelbert, son-in-law of Dan Gilbert, allegedly confessed to shooting Gilbert after a family dispute over improper relations with Gilbert’s daughter. The killing occurred soon after Nelbert married Gilbert’s daughter, with a revolver cited as the weapon and a claim of jealousy as the motive. The case has drawn attention to a pending wedding and a 46,000 dollar financial matter.
