A 48-year-old woman has been sentenced to 24 years in prison in the stabbing death of her boyfriend, authorities say. 
Originally charged with first-degree murder, Elaine Gallegos entered a plea agreement to a reduced charge of second-degree murder in March, according to Ken Lane, spokesman for Denver District Attorney Beth McCan.
On April 1, 2017, Gallegos fatally stabbed 56-year-old Leslie Southern Jr. in the 2100 block of Stout Street following a fight between the couple.
After she killed Southern, she called 911 and told a dispatcher that when she returned to her apartment she found Southern on the floor bleeding, Lane’s news release says.
Before police arrived, Gallegos fled the scene.
