US woman in crash sentenced

PHOENIX, the United States — American woman Holly Davis was sentenced to 25 years in prison on Friday in a court in the western U.S. state of Arizona for murdering a Chinese student after a rear-end collision in 2016.

A judge in Maricopa County Superior Court sentenced Davis to 25 years with no possibility of early release for second-degree murder in the fatal shooting of Jiang Yue in January 2016, a 19-year-old Chinese student who got scholarships to study at Arizona State University,.

Jiang was driving her car when rear-ended by Davis in the Arizona city of Tempe. Davis then got out of her Volkswagen Passat, walked up to Jiang’s car and opened fire.

The shooting killed Jiang, who was in the driver’s seat, and injured six others after Jiang’s car veered out of control into an intersection and struck an oncoming car. Davis fled the scene and was later taken into custody by police. She has remained in jail since then.

Dressed in black with a small white flower in her hair, Xu Xiang, the victim’s cousin, was present in the court on Friday. Xinhua
