Yue Jiang was a 19-year-old Chinese international student and sophomore in business at Arizona State University when she was shot and killed in Tempe, Arizona on the afternoon of January 16, 2016. She and a friend were stopped at a red light in her Mercedes when a Volkswagen Passat driven by 32-year-old Holly Davis rear-ended them. The friend briefly left the car to inspect damage but returned after seeing Davis holding a gun. Davis then walked to the driver’s side and shot Yue Jiang multiple times.

Jiang attempted to drive away but lost control, crossed into oncoming traffic and struck another vehicle; Jiang died at a hospital and the occupants of the other vehicle suffered non-life-threatening injuries, including a pregnant woman and three children. Davis fled but was later located at an apartment in Mesa; police found efforts to conceal her car and the weapon, and a note in the apartment. Davis, who had a prior conviction in Missouri for fleeing a lawful stop and had reportedly expressed suicidal ideation and struggles with depression and addiction, was initially charged with first-degree premeditated murder, later pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, and was sentenced to a mandatory 25 years in prison.

Does anyone have information about Jiang’s final movements that afternoon or witnessed the shooting?
