Woman Who Stabbed Asian Student in Head Sentenced in Hate Crime [Video]

An Indianapolis woman who stabbed an Asian student in her head multiple times has been sentenced to six years in prison for the hate crime.

Billie Davis, 57, of Bloomington, Ind., will spend six years in federal prison, followed by three years of supervised release, the United States Attorney’s Office announced in a press release on Wednesday, Dec. 11.

An Indiana University at Bloomington student of Chinese descent was riding a Bloomington Transit bus on Jan. 11, 2023, when Davis boarded and sat behind her, a separate press release said, citing court documents. 

The student, identified only as “Z.F.,” stood up a few stops later once the bus arrived near the campus, and that’s when Davis “reached for a folding knife from inside her pocket and stabbed Z.F. in the head approximately seven to 10 times,” the release said.
