A sister of LA Clippers star Kawhi Leonard was 1 of 2 women sentenced to life in prison without parole for the murder of an elderly woman in a Southern California casino in 2019.
Kimesha Williams, 1 of Leonard's sisters & Candace Townsel were convicted in February for the murder of 84-year-old Afaf Assad in a bathroom at Pechanga Resort Casino in Temecula, California. Sentencing for the first-degree murder convictions was handed down Friday.
Williams & Townsel went to the casino on Aug. 31, 2019 & Assad & her husband entered with a purse containing approximately $1,000 for gambling. When Assad went into a bathroom, Williams allegedly followed her & Townsel stayed outside to be the lookout.
A short time later, a woman in another stall heard a loud thud. Williams & Townsel were seen fleeing to the exit. Assad was found bleeding on the floor. She had a fractured skull & died 4 days later.
Williams denied killing Assad in a statement read by her attorney at the sentencing hearing.
Leonard grew up in the Riverside area & developed into a college star at San Diego State before becoming one of the NBA's top players.
Leonard's father, Mark, was a murder victim in 2008.
