An Atlanta woman was sentenced to life plus 25 years in prison for killing her ex-girlfriend's date.
Leslie Mosby, 30, was found guilty by a Fulton County jury on Wednesday of murder, felony murder, aggravated assault and weapons charges for the 2012 shooting death of Theisen Wynn.
On Nov. 13, 2012, Mosby saw Wynn sitting in a car with Mosby's former girlfriend in the parking lot of a southwest Fulton County motel, according to a statement from the office of Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard.
Prosecutors said Mosby was upset that her ex-girlfriend was with someone else and blocked in the vehicle the couple was exiting.
After a brief argument with her ex-girlfriend prosecutors said Mosby produced a handgun and fired at the woman. She then turned the weapon on Wynn, who returned fire.
Mosby was struck in the stomach, leg and arm, and Wynn was shot in the leg, authorities said.
Wynn limped to the motel lobby where he collapsed, and was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital where he later died, prosecutors said.
When police responding to the incident located Mosby a short distance from the motel, she told them she was injured during a road rage shooting, authorities said.
But surveillance video from the motel showed her shooting at both victims then fleeing, prosecutors said.
