PEVELY, Mo. — Shanyka Fouche, 25, of Memphis, Tenn., has been sentenced to 11 years in prison after a jury found her guilty of several felonies stemming from an incident in 2021 when she fired a gun from a vehicle on I-55 north of Pevely, striking a vehicle and the passenger in that other vehicle, according to court documents.
Jefferson County Div. 1 Circuit Judge Joseph Rathert sentenced Fouche on July 10. A Jefferson County jury found her guilty on Jan. 11 of two counts of first-degree assault, two counts of armed criminal action, unlawful use of a weapon, four counts of second-degree child endangerment and one count of first-degree child endangerment.
Courtney Goodwin, the assistant prosecutor who handled the case for the Jefferson County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office, had asked the judge to sentence Fouche to 33 years in prison.
An appeal was filed on July 11, court documents show.
