A woman is heading to prison after she pleaded guilty on Monday to a murder charge in the fatal shooting of her ex-boyfriend in Hialeah back in 2020<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Karina Corbalan pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in the March 2, 2020 shooting of Alexis Sanchez.<\/p>\n

In exchange, she was sentenced to 25 years in state prison followed by 10 years of probation.<\/p>\n

Corbalan, who turns 30 on Thursday, had been facing a mandatory life sentence if she’d been convicted at trial.<\/p>\n

During the hearing, she was allowed to speak to the victim’s family.<\/p>\n

\u201cI loved Alejandro Sanchez. I am sorry,” she said. “I am sorry. I never wanted to hurt him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sanchez, who was 28 at the time, was shot multiple times near the 5600 block of West 21st Street. He was taken to a local hospital where he later died.<\/p>\n

Neighbors said Sanchez, known as Coco to his family, was sitting in front of his home when Corbalan opened fire.<\/p>\n

Family members said the two had dated for around five years but Sanchez had ended the relationship shortly before the shooting.<\/p>\n

“There were 15 bullets. She didn’t stop. You can hear her saying, ‘What is this? How can you be so evil? How can you have such a heart? You destroyed my life and yours,'” his mother, Aymee Sanchez, told Telemundo 51 in Spanish back in 2021.<\/p>\n

On Monday, his mother didn’t hold back while addressing Corbalan.<\/p>\n

“You are heartless person, you are so evil,” she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A woman is heading to prison after she pleaded guilty on Monday to a murder charge in the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":373939,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[225,227,226],"class_list":["post-373938","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-hialeah","tag-hialeah","tag-hialeah-headlines","tag-hialeah-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/373938","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=373938"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/373938\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/373939"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=373938"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=373938"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=373938"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
