> A transgender woman who was convicted of a sword attack that left her wife dead and her mother-in-law injured in San Dimas was sentenced Monday to 37 years to life in state prison.

Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Mike Camacho imposed the term on Weichien “Evelyn” Huang, 45, who was convicted last week of the first-degree murder of her 47-year-old wife, Chen Chen Fei, on July 18, 2024, at the home the couple shared, along with the attempted murder of her mother-in-law the same day.

Jurors also convicted Huang of one misdemeanor count each of injuring a spouse and destroying a wireless communications device stemming from an alleged prior incident of domestic violence involving Fei in May 2023.

Speaking through a Mandarin interpreter over the phone, Fei’s mother said the defendant was “acting like a vampire,” using the sword to draw as much blood as she could and “enjoying” seeing the blood during the attack.
