GLENWOOD SPRINGS, Colo.—A Clifton man pleaded guilty Monday to second-degree murder in the shooting death of his nephew.
Jesus Hernandez de Jesus, 33, could face 16 to 48 years in prison, five years of parole, and fines of $5,000 to $1 million at a sentencing hearing set for April 11.
He originally was charged with first-degree murder and possession of a weapon by a previous offender in connection with the death of 20-year-old Ricardo Navarrete-Prudencio, of Acapulco, Mexico, on June 25. Hernandez de Jesus agreed to a plea deal with prosecutors.
Prosecutors said the suspect shot his nephew over an affair the nephew had with the suspect’s wife in Florida.
