An arrest has been made in connection with the drastic Arizona road rage shooting of a Chinese exchange student that resulted in another car collision injuring five more people. Holly Davis, 32, has been arrested by Tempe police with three charges including first-degree murder.

Davis' vehicle was reportedly involved in the collision at a busy intersection last Saturday. She allegedly got out of the vehicle and fired multiple shots towards the other car, which student Yue Jiang was driving.

According to Tempe police Lt. Michael Pooley, Jiang tried to drive off. However since she had been shot several times, she eventually lost control of the car and crashed into another vehicle. The other vehicle was carrying five passengers including a pregnant woman and three children.

Davis is alleged to have also pointed her gun to Jiang's passenger, who sustained minor injuries following the crash. Jiang was taken to a nearby hospital where she died. Meanwhile, the family of five passengers involved in the accident did not suffer serious injuries.

Davies reportedly fled the crime scene in a silver Volkswagen Passat, but was taken to custody moments after. According to the Arizona Republic, Davis tried to eliminate all evidence, hiding her car and weapon before going to her Mesa apartment to shower and wash her clothes.

However, investigators discovered shell casings in her apartment matching those at the shooting scene. They also found a disturbing note expressing a desire to engage in violence.

Davis has now been charged with first-degree murder, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, possession of a weapon by a prohibited persona and disorderly conduct with a firearm. Her bond has been set at $1.5 million.

Jiang was reportedly driving home with her boyfriend, who is also from China, after doing some shopping, before the tragedy happened.
