Woman sentenced to 11 years, 14 days in prison after manslaughter conviction in death of man on first date

HOUSTON – A woman has been sentenced to 11 years and 14 days in prison after being found guilty of manslaughter in a crash which caused the death of a man on a first date outside a Houston donut shop in 2023.

Kristina Chambers was found guilty on Oct. 23 in the death of Joe McMullin.

The 11-year and 14-day sentence was significant, because Nov. 14 (11/14) was McMullin’s date of birth.

McMullin was on a first date with a woman on April 19, 2023, and had just left a Voodoo Donut shop on Westheimer Road when Chambers lost control of her blue Porsche 911 Carrera while driving at a high rate of speed.

The vehicle jumped a curb and hit McMullin. He died as a result.

Court documents showed Chambers had been drinking before the crash occurred and had a blood alcohol level almost four times the legal limit.

Chambers originally faced a sentence of between two and 20 years in prison after her conviction.
