Maserati driver gets more than 32 years in prison for shooting his mother in an incident of aggression behind the wheel

June 18 (UPI) – The driver of a Maserati who shot a mother in her car in 2021 after an incident of driving aggression has been sentenced to more than 32 years in prison, according to federal prosecutors.

Kenneth Miles Davis Jr., 45, of Maryland, was sentenced Monday after a jury found him guilty on a number of charges, including armed assault with intent to kill, following a three-week trial in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia in late January.

According to prosecutors, the shooting occurred on May 19, 2021, around 5 p.m.

Davis was found guilty of getting out of his Maserati GranTurismo at a Washington, DC intersection and opening fire on a vehicle carrying a woman and her two children in heavy traffic.

The unidentified woman was shot in the arm and her five-year-old child was hit by broken glass, while her 11-year-old child was unharmed.

Davis fired seven bullets into the car before firing six more at bystanders.

While officers searched for a suspect, the Washington Police Department released surveillance camera footage of the shooting, which shows that the shooting occurred when traffic had come to a standstill.

Davis gets out of his Maserati and approaches a white car with a firearm in his hand. He opens fire as traffic starts moving again. As he walks back to his car, he shoots at unseen bystanders before getting back into his vehicle, turning around and fleeing the scene.

After investigation, Davis was identified as a suspect and arrested by law enforcement in Costa Rica on August 5, 2021.

Two months later, he was extradited to Washington, DC.
