A 26-year-old man was convicted Tuesday of first-degree murder in the shooting death of a 22-year-old woman in Lakewood, court records show.
Patrick Plasencio was accused of shooting Amanda Bobian outside a home in the 1200 block of South Marshall Street in May 2023, according to previous reporting and Denver7.
Investigators believed Plasencio shot Bobian after an argument and fled the scene. Denver7 reported.
A jury also convicted Plasencio of attempted murder and two gun-related charges.
First-degree murder convictions in Colorado carry a mandatory sentence of life in prison. Plasencio will be sentenced on December 20.
His brother, 29-year-old Frankie Plasencio, pleaded guilty in June to manslaughter and accessory to a crime and was sentenced to two years in prison with credit for more than a year already served, according to court records.
