A Pennsylvania man and woman were sentenced to life in prison Thursday for the murder-for-hire love triangle shooting of a beloved teacher in a Dunkin drive-thru while her 11-year-old son sat in the backseat of her car.

Rachel King, 35, and her son, Jalen, were sitting in her SUV in the fast food restaurants drive-thru line at around 7:30 a.m. on April 11, 2023, when Zakkee Steven Alhakim, 34, walked up to the drivers side and opened fire, prosecutors said . She was shot five times and pronounced dead at the scene, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported .

Alhakim, who had followed King from her home, then returned to the car he had parked nearby and sped away, investigators said.

Julie Jean, 33, had hired Alhakim to kill King out of jealousy, investigators said, after Kings longtime boyfriend, William Hayes, ended his affair with Jean.
