A 31-year-old woman will spend the rest of her life behind bars for traveling from New York to Florida to murder her ex-boyfriend’s new lover.

Sakiyna Thompson was convicted of first-degree murder in October after stabbing 23-year-old Kayla Hodgson to death in July 2022.

Thompson maintained that she killed Hodgson in self-defense, but it only took an hour for a jury to deliberate on her claims and unanimously find her guilty of murder.

Prosecutors said that Thompson had flown to Broward County days before the murder took place with the intent of killing Hodgson out of jealousy that she was dating Thompson’s ex-boyfriend.
