FORT WORTH, Texas — Updated Wednesday with a sentencing update for Terry Wayne King II.
A Tarrant County judge sentenced Terry Wayne King II to life in prison Wednesday for choking a 12-year-old girl at a Fort Worth bus stop in 2018.
In April 2018, Fort Worth police said Uwimana, then 12 years old, was walking to her bus stop near Western Hills Elementary School when she was thrown to the ground and choked by a stranger.
Uwimana’s injuries were so severe she needed a heart transplant and will require continuing medical treatment for the rest of her life, according to her father Twizere Buhinja, who testified through an interpreter Wednesday.
