Police arrest US woman in road rage killing of Chinese student

TEMPE (Arizona) — Police have made an arrest in connection with a deadly Arizona road rage shooting of a student visiting from China.

Tempe police spokesman Michael Pooley said yesterday (Jan 17) that 32-year-old Holly Davis had been booked on three charges including first-degree murder.

According to police, Davis’ vehicle was involved in a collision at a busy intersection on Saturday. Davis allegedly got out of her car and fired several shots into the other vehicle, hitting Yue Jiang several times.

Mr Pooley says Jiang lost control, crashing her vehicle into another car carrying a family of five. The 19-year-old woman was taken to a hospital where she died.

The family did not suffer serious injuries. Davis fled the scene but was later located.

Police say Jiang was a university student. AP
