TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - A Florida man has been sentenced to life in prison for fatally shooting three people.
The Tampa Bay Times reports that 25-year-old Angel Luis Perez Jr. was sentenced Friday. He was convicted earlier this week of three counts of first-degree murder, kidnapping and armed burglary.
Authorities say Perez burst into a Tampa home with an AK-47 rifle in December 2014 and shot 25-year-old Jorge Gort and Gort’s girlfriend, 23-year-old Brittany Snyder. Perez left with Gort’s 3-year-old son, who was also Perez’s nephew.
When Perez returned to his car, he got into an argument with his girlfriend, 22-year-old Olivia Miller, and then shot her, too.
Perez drove Miller to the hospital with the child in the car. He called 911 on the way, saying that he was high on cocaine and that police should kill him.
