Dushan McBride Sentenced to 95 Years to Life for Killing Ex-Girlfriend in Front of Her Children

The case hinged on a 911 recording plus weeks of stalking documented by prosecutors.

Overview

  • Judge Mary Ann O’Malley imposed the term after a jury conviction on murder plus firing into an occupied vehicle, stalking and a firearm enhancement.
  • The confrontation was recorded on a 911 call as McBride cut off Rashanda Franklin’s Jeep in Richmond with her two young sons in the back seat.
  • Prosecutors said Franklin had ended the relationship weeks earlier, citing a sustained pattern of stalking and harassment.
  • The night before the shooting, Richmond police took a report at Franklin’s home; relatives and a former department captain later faulted the response.
  • McBride fled after the April 4, 2017 killing and was arrested about a week later at a fast-food restaurant in Sacramento.
