MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) - Prosecutors say a woman who killed her cousin when she drove her SUV into a crowd of people outside a nightclub after someone made a comment about her dress has pleaded guilty to second-degree murder.

The Shelby County district attorney’s office says 31-year-old Shenetta Moore also pleaded guilty to three counts of aggravated assault on Monday. She was sentenced to 20 years in prison.

Prosecutors say Moore became angry at the comment about her dress and then drove an SUV into a crowd outside the Mailhandlers Club in January 2014.



Moore hit four people. Her cousin, 30-year-old Tiffany Jenkins, was killed. Three others were injured. Moore was pulled over in the SUV a short distance away and was arrested.
