Police said 32-year-old Holly Davis has been booked on three charges including first-degree murder

A suspect has been arrested in connection to a deadly Arizona road rage shooting that left a Chinese exchange student dead and led to a chain-reaction crash that injured five others.

Tempe police Lt. Michael Pooley said on Sunday that 32-year-old Holly Davis has been booked on three charges including first-degree murder.

According to police, Davis' vehicle was involved in a collision at a busy intersection around 2.40pm on Saturday.

She allegedly got out of her car and fired several shots into another vehicle, hitting the driver, student Yue Jiang several times.

Pooley said the 19-year-old tried driving off but after being shot she lost control, crashing her vehicle into another car carrying a family of five, including a pregnant woman and three children.

Davis is said to have also pointed her gun at the passenger in Jiang's car, who sustained minor injuries in the subsequent crash, according to The Arizona Republic.

Jiang, an Arizona State University student, was taken to a hospital where she died. The family of five did not suffer serious injuries.

Davis fled the scene in a silver Volkswagen Passat but was later taken into custody.

She had reportedly hid her car and weapon before returning to her Mesa apartment where she showered and washed her clothes, The Arizona Republic reported.

Arrests reports indicate that Davis had previously been convicted for resisting a lawful stop and fleeing in Missouri, and was subsequently sentenced to three years in prison.

Arizona State University spokesman Jerry Gonzalez confirmed in statement that Jiang was a student at the school and said their thoughts and prayers are with her family.

'Regarding yesterday's incident where ASU student Yue Jiang was killed, we just want to say that fellow students are being encouraged to talk with counselors, and that our thoughts and prayers are with the student's family,' Gonzalez said.
