A 20-year-old Richmond woman has been convicted of robbing and killing a VCU student in March.
Zsabriela Williams entered an Alford plea Tuesday to one count of murder, not admitting guilt but acknowledging there was enough evidence to convict her in the slaying of 19-year-old Tyler Binsted of Mount Jackson. She also pleaded guilty to two counts of robbery and three of using a firearm in a felony.
Williams and 17-year-old Howard R. Scott III, of Richmond, both face three life terms when they’re sentenced Nov. 17. Scott previously entered Alford pleas to six charges.
Binsted and his girlfriend were robbed March 27 in Byrd Park and were ordered to climb into the trunk of the girlfriend’s car. Prosecutors said Williams shot Binstead in the back when he tried to walk away.
