manage your account an ex nypd officer who shot her ex girlfriend and gunned down that woman’s new lover was hit with 27 years behind bars wednesday   as the slain victim’s father called the killer a “cold blooded monster” who should be locked up forever. yvonne wu, 34, was sentenced two months after she admitted that she used her service weapon to shoot and wound jenny li, 34, and kill her ex’s new sweetheart, 24 year old jamie liang, during a fit of jealous rage on oct. 13, 2021. “jamie was funny, kind, a ray of sunshine. i have never felt such grief and am overwhelmed by the reality she is never coming back,” li said in brooklyn supreme court through tears before justice danny chun meted out the punishment. wu would have faced life imprisonment but took a plea deal that dropped the charges from murder to manslaughter and attempted murder, taking that sentence off the table. but liang’s father, ying cai liang, said the “evil person” who took his daughter’s life “should be locked up forever.” “this monster did not just take jamie’s life   she took a part of us away with her,” the devastated dad said during a scathing victim impact statement. “she took away our pride, our hope and our joy. she left permanent scars in our hearts; our lives will never be the same. “jamie was only 24 years old. she had her whole life ahead of her,” he continued. “this cold blooded monster took our little girl, our little angel. the murderer is a police officer who is supposed to protect and serve. “this evil person does not deserve to be free,” liang added, saying his daughter would be graduating from nyu dentistry by now   had she lived. wu, who was suspended without pay from the nypd and fired in june, broke down in tears as she tried to apologize to the family whose daughter she stole in her bloodthirsty frenzy. “i’m sorry to everyone who’s been affected by this, especially jenny,” wu said before learning her fate. “i’m so sorry, you guys will never forgive me. i’m sorry.” but her apology fell on deaf ears. “the decision made that day was an extremely selfish one that hurt many people in more ways beyond what words can describe,” li said in court. “my health will never be the same, and jamie, someone who had her whole life ahead of her… has been taken. “we will continue to remember her,” li continued, “and i hope that the court and judge has taken into account the deep emotional wounds we all have continued to endure, although there is no amount of time that will justify the defendant’s actions.” chun said the court accepted wu’s plea deal because it would spare the family from enduring the pain of a trial. “although the defendant no longer faces life, this court did not feel like that was so unconscionable of a plea deal for the court to not accept it,” the judge said. prosecutors said the five year officer from the 72nd precinct in sunset park waited for hours outside li’s brooklyn home until her ex   whom she dated for two years   showed up arm in arm with a new love interest. the off duty cop from staten island went into the bensonhurst home, took out her service weapon and pulled the trigger   killing liang and wounding li, cops said. then she waited at the scene and cooly confessed to the shooting when the police arrived. the couple had just broken up three weeks before the killing, sources said at the time. “her actions … were a ferocious act of anger that left a young woman dead and jenny damaged and scarred for the rest of her life,” jessica cepriano, senior investigative counsel for the state attorney general’s office, which prosecuted the case, said during the sentencing. “her actions also unnerved the faith and confidence that the community should have in the honorable members of law enforcement who work hard to protect us.”
