The sister of Los Angeles Clippers<\/u><\/a> star Kawhi Leonard has been sentenced to life without the possibility of parole for the killing of an elderly woman at the Pechanga Resort Casino in 2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Kimesha Williams, who is Leonard\u2019s sister, and Candace Townsell were sentenced on Friday for the killing of Afaf Assad, an 84-year-old Long Beach, California, woman, according to The Press Enterprise<\/u><\/a> in Riverside, CA.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The two women were convicted in February of first-degree murder<\/u><\/a>, robbery and elder abuse following a lengthy trial.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Assad was found unconscious on the floor of a Pechanga Resort Casino<\/u><\/a> bathroom with a cracked skull in 2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Williams and Townsell were reportedly at the casino on Aug. 31, 2019, when Assad entered with her husband and a purse containing around $1,000 for gambling, according to the publication.<\/p>\n

Assad went into the bathroom, where Williams followed her, and Townsell kept lookout.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A woman in another stall heard a thud, and Williams and Townsell made a “beeline” to the casino exit.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Assad was found by a custodian and the woman who heard the thud on the floor of the bathroom, with her head bleeding and her skull fractured.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Assad died four days later, and the purse was never found.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In a statement read to the court by her attorney, Williams denied killing Assad.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I am so sorry for your loss,” Williams wrote, according to The Press Enterprise. “I have been praying for you and your family every day. I am not responsible for the death of Mrs. Assad. Although the courts have found me guilty of the charges<\/u><\/a>, we all know the truth, and that there is one judge, and that is God, and that he knows the truth.”<\/p>\n

Mary Assad, the daughter of Afaf Assad, read a victim-impact statement to the court.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“This has been a long, painful journey through the criminal court justice system<\/u><\/a>,” Mary Assad read to the court. “I still can\u2019t believe my mother was the victim of a violent crime. . . . Part of me died in that hospital room with her.<\/p>\n

“My father is without his wife and partner and is isolated and alone in a way we cannot begin to understand. . . . We seek not vengeance but there needs to be a reckoning for their heinous act,” Assad said.<\/p>\n

Williams was banned from entering the Pechanga Resort Casino in 2015 for stealing a wallet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
