MACON, Ga. — A woman convicted of fatally stabbing a mother of four during a birthday party in 2018 will now spend the rest of her life in prison.
According to a post by Macon Judicial Circuit District Attorney Anita Howard, a Bibb County jury returned a guilty verdict against Brandi Dixon Thursday for felony murder after hearing almost three days of testimony.
CASE HISTORY
On July 15, 2018, Dixon stabbed 35-year-old Ebony Smith to death with a knife at a birthday party.
It was reported to deputies that the two women got into an argument over a man that ended with Dixon stabbing Smith, and Smith hitting Dixon in the face with her gun.
Investigators found that Smith was defending herself at the time of the attack.
After the verdict, Dixon was sentenced to serve a life sentence in prison, according to Howard.
