The last two men sentenced in the 2022 shooting death of East Colfax community leader Ma Kaing will spend 18 years in prison after pleading guilty to second-degree murder, according to court records.
Swa Bay, 22, and Nu La, 23, were both sentenced to 18 years in the Colorado Department of Corrections in September as part of plea agreements with the Denver District Attorney’s Office.
Bay and La, along with Pah Reh, 21, and Luh Reh, 23, were all arrested and charged with murder after Kaing was killed by bullet from a nearby shooting while unloading food from her car outside her Xenia Street apartment complex on July 15, 2022.
Investigators accused the four men of firing more than three dozen rounds at a passing vehicle that they thought didn’t belong in the neighborhood.
Pah Reh and Luh Reh were both convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
In an unrelated case, Lu Reh was sentenced to another six years in prison after pleading guilty to manslaughter in the 2022 shooting death of Ricardo Ryans.
