US man imprisoned for life in killing of Chinese student

A man charged with the beating death of a Chinese student at the University of Southern California was sentenced to life in prison on Friday without the possibility of parole.

Alberto Ochoa, 22, was the last of four suspects to be tried for the 2014 murder of 24-year-old engineering student Xinran Ji.

According to prosecutors, Ji was walking home from a study group on July 24, 2014, when three young men and a 16-year-old girl attacked him, beating him with a baseball bat and wrench as they tried to rob him.

Ji managed to flee and staggered back to his campus apartment, where he was found dead hours later by a roommate.

Prosecutors said Ji was targeted because he was Chinese and his attackers assumed he had money.
