A Sacramento County Superior Judge sentenced Jimmy Washington to life in prison for the murder of ATM technician James Nguyen in 2021, according to a report by Fox 40.

During the incident, Washington carjacked his van. Nguyen attempted to stop him and jumped in through the window. Washington drove through the parking lot with Nguyen clinging to the side window. He then fell from the window and Washington ran over him.

He was in a vegetative state for around nine months prior to his death. The jury ruled the incident as first degree murder due to the carjacking circumstance.
