This week, Brandon Rashon Freeman was sentenced to 10 years in jail for the July 2020 crash that killed Amy Lane Shypailo.

On the morning of July 19, 2020, Freeman was driving a gray Nissan Sentra and heading eastbound on the service road of the Katy Freeway when he ran a red light and hit Shypailo's gray Mazda 3.

The impact of the crash caused Shypailo's vehicle to hit a Toyota RAV4, which was waiting at the red light. Shypailo was pronounced dead at the scene.

At the time of the crash, Freeman was determined to be intoxicated, police said.
