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.
