Ex-NYPD Officer Wu Sentenced to 27 Years

Former NYPD officer Yvonne Wu has been sentenced to 27 years in prison for fatally shooting Jamie Liang and wounding her ex-girlfriend, Jenny Li, during a jealous rage on October 13, 2021. Wu, who pled guilty to manslaughter and attempted murder, used her NYPD-issued gun in the attack. The incident occurred when Wu, off-duty, entered Li's home and fired six shots, killing Liang and seriously injuring Li. Liang's father described Wu as a 'cold-blooded monster' and expressed profound grief over the loss of his daughter. Wu apologized to the victims' families, stating she would never forgive herself. The case was prosecuted by the state attorney general's office due to Wu's status as a police officer.
