PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) - A Rhode Island man who fatally stabbed his ex-girlfriend’s new love interest has been sentenced to life in prison.
Attorney General Peter Neronha says 35-year-old Fredi Lopez was sentenced Thursday after pleading guilty in January to second-degree murder in the 2016 killing of Andres Arguijo Acosta.
Prosecutors say at about 4:30 a.m. on July 30, 2016, Lopez entered his former girlfriend’s Providence home and during a confrontation with the unarmed victim, stabbed him multiple times with a kitchen knife. He died at the hospital.
