An illegal alien, deported five times from the United States, has been sentenced to less than 30 years in prison for murdering a man in Maricopa County, Arizona, in 2020.
As Breitbart News reported at the time, Juan De Dios Cazares-Lopez, a 38-year-old illegal alien from Mexico, was arrested and charged with murdering 49-year-old Martin Lopez, who was the brother of his ex-girlfriend.
Last week, Cazares-Lopez was sentenced in Maricopa County for murdering Lopez and given 28.5 years in prison. Cazares-Lopez had pleaded guilty to one count of second-degree murder and another count of stalking.
At the time of the murder, Cazares-Lopez had already been deported five times from the U.S. Sometime before the murder, Cazares-Lopez illegally re-entered the U.S. for the sixth time.
According to the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office, Lopez was outside his Phoenix, Arizona, home when Cazares-Lopez passed by in a vehicle and shot at him. Eyewitnesses said they heard gunshots and noticed Lopez on the ground.
Lopez died after having been rushed to a nearby hospital. Cazares-Lopez was also convicted of stalking his ex-girlfriend and was accused of threatening to burn her house down and murder her as well as her daughter.
