"Nearly two years after she allegedly shot at a woman in a passing car, Braswell, 25, has pleaded no contest to assault with a deadly weapon and a probation violation, with the expectation to receive a nine-year prison term when she's sentenced on Feb. 20. Despite having been charged in two separate shootings and allegedly violating pretrial release terms dozens of times over the years, Braswell was only jailed just last July, records show."
"The plea agreement, struck in January, marks the end four years of a legal saga that started March 19, 2022, when Braswell was arrested and charged with murder in the International Boulevard shootout that killed 64-year-old Rodney Davis. Police say Davis was at the gas station to buy drugs from Braswell that night, but had the misfortune of standing there when Braswell and a man named Stavon Moore got into a shootout."
