Guillermo Lopez-Perez, 24, pleaded guilty to a voluntary manslaughter count for stabbing 27-year-old Rodrigo Diaz-Perez to death on New Year's Day 2022.
SAN DIEGO - A man who fatally stabbed another man in Logan Heights last year was sentenced Thursday to a dozen years in state prison.
San Diego police first received reports at about 3:45 p.m. that day regarding a fight involving a group of men at the corner of 29th Street and Clay Avenue. Officers arrived to find Diaz-Perez lying in the street with stab wounds to his upper body, according to SDPD Lt. Andra Brown. He died at a hospital less than an hour later, according to the lieutenant.
Following an argument, Diaz-Perez ran and Lopez-Perez gave chase, Deputy District Attorney Kelsey Hollander said. As he was fleeing, the victim fell and Lopez-Perez stabbed him while he was on the ground, the prosecutor said.Copyright 2023, City News Service, Inc.
