Eric Gonzalez, Brooklyn District Attorney, announced a 25-year prison sentence for Sheng Mao Chen, who fatally stabbed Xiu Rong Zheng outside his home in 2019. The couple had an extramarital affair, and after Zheng ended the relationship, Chen harassed her for months. On July 22, 2019, during a confrontation at his home, Chen stabbed Zheng 35 times, killing her in front of his teenage son. After fleeing to Indiana post-attack, he was arrested and extradited back to New York. District Attorney Gonzalez described the incident as a deeply disturbing case of domestic violence, hoping the sentence provides closure for Zheng's family.
District Attorney Gonzalez highlighted that this case involved a deeply disturbing pattern of domestic violence, culminating in a brutal attack witnessed by the defendant's own son.
