A Georgia man, Jerrontae Cain, 39, was sentenced to 25 years in prison for shooting Nicole Gordon, 42, during an argument in 2017.
WTVR reports, a woman and her ex-boyfriend were arguing in her car two years ago when her driver’s side window shattered and she blacked out.
For a month after the shooting in 2017, the woman stayed at Cain’s mother’s house, suffering through severe headaches, dealing with memory loss and having trouble speaking.
It wasn’t until June that year, that a worried friend took her to the hospital where doctors found a bullet in the back of the skull.
Cain told police the woman, now 42, had crashed her car into a tree. But detectives found the crime scene inconsistent with his explanation, according to the DA’s office.
An arrest warrant for Cain was issued in 2017 following Gordon’s hospital visit, but he wasn’t taken into custody until January 2019, after a standoff with the FBI in College Park.
Cain was also sentenced to five years of probation to be served after his prison term.
