The student, Yue Jiang, 19, died after being shot, police said. Holly Davis, 32, has been charged with first-degree murder.
19岁的中国留学生江玥中枪后身亡。32岁的嫌犯霍莉•戴维斯被控一级谋杀罪。
16日下午,受害人江玥驾驶汽车,在交叉路口等红灯时被后车追尾(be involved in a collision at an intersection)。江玥车上一名男性友人下车检查车辆损坏情况(assess the damage),发现肇事车女司机竟持枪走下车来。肇事者来到车前,向江玥连开数枪(fire several shots)。江玥中枪后无法控制车辆(lose control of her vehicle),失控撞上另一辆车(crash into another car)。随后嫌犯驾车逃逸(flee the scene)。
嫌犯戴维斯将被控诉4项重罪:一级谋杀罪(first-degree premeditated murder)、持致命武器重度攻击他人罪(aggravated assault with a deadly weapon)、持致命武器行为不当罪(disorderly contact with a deadly weapon)以及私藏致命武器罪(prohibited possession)。
这起案件被美国媒体称为“路怒枪击,但警方调查显示,戴维斯可能醉酒或滥用药物,且存在精神疾病和暴力倾向,事因并非简单的“路怒(road rage)。
在美国刑法中,一级谋杀罪(first-degree murder)是指非法施行杀人行为且兼具“杀人之意图及“事先预谋计划者。二级谋杀罪(second-degree murder)是指有杀人的故意而其杀人行为并非经预谋或计划,且非出于义愤者。
