A known Greeley gang member was sentenced to 30 years in prison for his role in beating a man to death in 2013.
Domingo Salazar, 22, was sentenced on Monday, according to a news release from the Weld County District Attorney’s office that was distributed Friday.
Salazar pleaded guilty to attempted second-degree murder for his role in the death of Gumercindo “Carlos” Munoz.
Salazar is one of six defendants charged in Munoz’ death.
Greeley police officers found Munoz’s body in his home at 2127 5th St. on Aug. 15, 2013. Investigators later learned that Salazar and the other defendants confronted Munoz at his home about an incident with his girlfriend.
