It’s been almost eight years since a man shot and killed a corporate attorney in Midtown in a seemingly random attack, but it took just a few minutes for a Fulton County jury to convict him of her murder.
Raylon Lee Browning, 47, was sentenced to life without parole plus 25 years in the death of 40-year-old Trinh Huynh, who was shot and killed as she walked on Peachtree Place at the intersection with Peachtree Street in Midtown on the morning of April 3, 2017. A Fulton County jury deliberated for about 11 minutes before rendering a guilty verdict on Thursday, according to Channel 2 Action News.
Hyunh, who was born in Vietnam and came to the United States as a toddler, lived about a block from the scene of the shooting and died from her injuries after being taken to Grady Memorial Hospital.
She grew up in Gainesville and graduated from Princeton University before completing law school at Emory University. She was an attorney with UPS at the time of her death and served as a mock trial coach at Grady High School. She had previously worked at Coca-Cola and was a former board member for the Georgia Asian Pacific American Bar Association.
