The man who fatally shot a Freehold woman four years ago today in a passing vehicle as she drove along Route 33 in Freehold Township with her boyfriend and 1-year-old daughter has been sentenced to life in prison, the Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office has announced.    
Kader Mustafa, 40, will not become eligible for parole before reaching the age of 104, under the provisions of New Jersey’s No Early Release Act and the terms set down Monday by Monmouth County Superior Court Judge Vincent N. Falcetano Jr.
Prosecutors say Calhoun was driving shortly before 11:45 p.m. on May 3, 2018, when Sciasia Calhoun’s vehicle passed Mustafa’s.
Prosecutors say he followed her on the highway. They say he flashed his vehicle's high beams and opened fire, shooting her in the head. Her boyfriend and child were not injured. Prosecutors called it a random shooting.
Calhoun was rushed to CentraState Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead approximately one hour later.
