After being cut off, the driver of a Maserati in Washington, D.C., shot at a woman’s car and then turned around and opened fire on onlookers. Prosecutors said the driver received a sentence of more than 32 years in jail.
U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia said in a statement that the woman was hit in the arm by Kenneth Miles Davis Jr. during the road rage shooting on May 19, 2021. In the car, according to authorities, were the woman’s children, ages five and eleven.

Three charges of assault with a dangerous weapon, four counts of possession of a handgun during a violent crime, and one count of assault with intent to kill while armed were all found guilty by a jury in January of last year. Davis, 45, was one of the defendants.

According to his attorney, Marnitta L. King, Davis has already notified the court that he will be filing an appeal. She declared, “Mr. Davis will not give up trying to establish his guilt.”
When Davis, believing he had been cut off in traffic, stepped out of the Maserati GranTurismo and fired into the woman’s car at around five o’clock in the evening, authorities said, violence broke out.
Watching the woman drive away, the gunman was seen getting out of her car and firing shots at it on security footage. Then he turned, aiming the gun toward individuals in his back before vanishing from view.
According to the prosecutor’s office, Davis fired 13 shots, six of which were directed at the woman’s car and seven of which were directed at onlookers. All that was shot was the woman. Broken glass injured the five-year-old.
An arrest warrant document from the police states that the woman whose car was shot recognized Davis from a lineup of police photos, stating, “I’m positive, my heart is pounding,” and “it was him.”
Declaring his innocence and not thinking he was given a fair trial, Davis wrote a letter to the judge that was filed into the record in May.
