A judge in California sentenced a 21-year-old man to life in prison Wednesday in connection with the beating death of a university graduate student from China.
Andrew Garcia is the second person convicted in the July 2014 killing of Xinran Ji jordan 11 retro 72 10 for sale , a 24-year-old electrical engineering student at the University of Southern California.
Two other people are awaiting trial in the case, which rattled the university's Chinese community and prompted the school, located in downtown Los Angeles, to boost security.

Ji was beaten by his attackers and hit with a baseball bat and a wrench as he walked home from a study group late on Jul 24, 2014, authorities said.
He managed to flee and staggered back to his apartment www.cheapbook.org , where he was found dead hours later by a roommate.
Prosecutors said his attackers, who included a teenage girl, targeted him because he was Chinese and they thought he had cash on him.
Several members of Ji's family, some of whom traveled from China, tearfully read statements on Wednesday during the sentencing hearing for Garcia, who showed no emotion.
Ji's killing took place two years after two other USC students from China were shot to death during a robbery as they sat in a car.
Nearly 5 air jordan 11 retro for sale ,000 of USC's international student population of 10,500 are from China, according to the school's website.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 30 (Xinhua) -- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Wednesday approved the country's first gene therapy that reengineers people's own immune cells to treat childhood leukemia.
In a statement, the FDA called the approval "a historic action," saying it will usher in "a new approach to the treatment of cancer and other serious and life-threatening diseases."
"We're entering a new frontier in medical innovation with the ability to reprogram a patient's own cells to attack a deadly cancer air jordan 11 for sale ," said FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb.
"New technologies such as gene and cell therapies hold out the potential to transform medicine and create an inflection point in our ability to treat and even cure many intractable illnesses."
The U.S. regulator approved Novartis's Kymriah (tisagenlecleucel), formerly known as CTL019, for the treatment of patients up to 25 years of age with B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) that is refractory or in second or later relapse.
Kymriah is a novel immunotherapy using an individual patient's own T-cells, a type of white blood cell known as a lymphocyte.
The patient's T-cells are collected and sent to a manufacturing center where they are genetically modified to include a new gene that contains a specific protein, known as a chimeric antigen receptor or CAR, that directs the T-cells to target and kill leukemia cells that have a specific antigen jordan 11 retro for sale , CD19, on the surface.
Once the cells are modified, they are infused back into the patient to kill the cancer cells.
"Kymriah is a first-of-its-kind treatment approach that fills an important unmet need for children and young adults with this serious disease," said Peter Marks, director of the FDA's Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research.
"Not only does Kymriah provide these patients with a new treatment option where very limited options existed, but a treatment option that has shown promising remission and survival rates in clinical trials."
The safety and efficacy of Kymriah were demonstrated in one multicenter clinical trial of 63 pediatric and young adult patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The overall remission rate within three months of treatment was 83 percent.
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia is a cancer of the bone marrow and blood jordan 11 for sale , in which the body makes abnormal lymphocytes.
The disease progresses quickly and is the most common childhood cancer in the U.S., with about 3,100 patients aged 20 and younger being diagnosed each year.
Patients often undergo multiple treatments including chemotherapy, radiation, targeted therapy or stem cell transplant, yet less than 10 percent of patients survive five years.
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia can be of either T- or B-cell origin http://www.cheapbook.org/images/pic/Jordan2015/Jordan-11/mens-air-jordan-11-low-black-gum-black-white-basketball-shoes.jpg , with B-cell the most common.
Kymriah is approved for use in pediatric and young adult patients with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia and is intended for patients whose cancer has not responded to or has returned after initial treatment, which occurs in an estimated 15-20 percent of patients.
"Five years ago, we began collaborating with the University of Pennsylvania (Penn) and invested in further developing and bringing what we believed would be a paradigm-changing immunocellular therapy to cancer patients in dire need," Joseph Jimenez, CEO of Novartis, said in a statement.
"With the approval of Kymriah http://www.cheapbook.org/images/pic/Jordan2015/Jordan-11/378037-107-air-jordan-retro-11-xi-concord-2011-white-black-dark-concord-a11007-grade-school-s-shoes.jpg , we are once again delivering on our commitment to change the course of cancer care," said Jimenez.
Carl June, director of the Center for Cellular Immunotherapies in Penn's Perelman School of Medicine, who is a pioneer of this new treatment, called the approval "a significant step forward in individualized cancer treatment that may have a tremendous impact on patients' lives.
"Through our collaboration with Novartis, we are creating the next wave of immunocellular cancer treatments http://www.cheapbook.org/images/pic/Jordan2015/Jordan-11/authentic-air-jordan-11-retro-378037-006-black-gamma-blue-black-varsity-maize-mens-shoes.jpg , and are eager to progress CAR-T therapy in a host of hematologic and other cancer types," June said.
