Woman who shot boyfriend in the back sentenced
Background: News footage of the scene in Peoria, Ill. where Roderick Richardson was killed in October 2023 (WEEK). Inset: Tnashia Wash (Peoria County Sheriff's Office).

An Illinois woman who shot her boyfriend in the back during an argument has been sentenced to decades in prison.


Tnashia Wash, 20, was a teenager when she fired six shots at 30-year-old Roderick Richardson on Oct. 16, 2023. According to the Peoria County State's Attorney's Office, Wash admitted to police at the time that she shot Richardson, but claimed that it was in self-defense. She and her child had been staying at Richardson's home at the time, and the couple got into a fight about their relationship. Wash claimed that Richardson threatened to shoot her and her child, and she took his gun, firing six shots when he "charged" at her.

But an autopsy on Richardson determined that four of those shots hit him in the back.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

At least she had enough rocket scientist genes not to claim suicide. *****rollingeyes*****

If a couple of the shots had been from the front, she could claim that she just kept firing. But 4 in the bac, no one is buying that.
