The daughter of a former U.S. diplomat was found guilty Tuesday of murdering a man in Rockville, Maryland, three years ago.
A Montgomery County jury found Sophia Negroponte, 29, guilty of second-degree murder for stabbing and killing Yousuf Rasmussen, 24, in February 2020, according to the State’s Attorney’s Office.
She could be sentenced to up to 40 years when she returns to court on March 31. Negroponte must serve at least half her sentence before she can be eligible for parole.
