## Resource

A judge sentenced 25-year-old Kandi Galaviz to 12 years for the fatal shooting of 34-year-old Waleed Shaban outside his auto dealership in November 2024. After initially facing second-degree murder charges, Galaviz pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter in May, leading prosecutors to drop an armed criminal action charge. Witnesses say Galaviz asked to avoid “crossfire” and was driven to the scene to retrieve items from a repossessed car. During questioning, Galaviz claimed missing property sparked a physical altercation — she shoved Shaban, who then pushed her into a car and onto the ground. Shaban, a successful entrepreneur with ventures in real estate, construction, insurance, and auto sales, died from the gunshot wound. The case now officially closes with Galaviz behind bars.
