A female Chinese student was shot dead by an American woman after her car was hit by the woman's car in Arizona last Saturday.

According to the local police, the victim, named Jiang Yue, was a 19-year-old Chinese exchange student studying at Arizona State University. The suspect, identified as Holly Davis, 32, was arrested on suspicion of first degree murder and several other charges, including illegal possession of a firearm. 

The incident started when two vehicles, one driven by Davis and the other by Jiang, collided near Broadway Road and McClintock Drive at about 3:40 p.m. Saturday, police said.

After that initial collision, Davis got out of her car and fired several rounds into the other vehicle, striking Jiang.

After being hit, Jiang lost control of her car, which then struck a third vehicle carrying a family of five, including a pregnant woman and three children.

Jiang was later pronounced dead after being sent to the hospital.

Davis tried to flee the scene after the shooting but was caught by the police. Her motivation for shooting is still under investigation.
