YORK COUNTY, Pa. — The York County District Attorney's Office announced Rahsaun Bush was found guilty of multiple charges relating to a fatal vehicle crash that claimed the life of his then-girlfriend Deveja Cooper in 2020.

On Thursday, Nov. 16, he was sentenced to life in prison plus a consecutive 255 to 510 months for the death of Cooper.

Officials said Bush, 31, was convicted on the charges of murder of the third degree, homicide by vehicle, and DUI among others.

On June 14, 2020, Bush was driving northbound on I-83 going at least 124 mph when he lost control of his vehicle and crashed, police say.

Cooper, 21, was ejected from the vehicle and pronounced dead at the scene.

Bush was previously convicted of voluntary manslaughter in 2013. The subsequent conviction for murder of the third-degree led him to a mandatory life sentence.
