READING, Pa. – A man has pleaded guilty to third-degree murder in the fatal stabbing of his girlfriend in Reading.
Samuel Lopez-Ordones will spend 20-40 years in prison for the crime.
Lopez-Ordones was charged with killing 27-year-old Daniela Allende in January 2025 at a home in the 1200 block of Amity Street.
Allende was found on the kitchen floor and was declared dead by EMS a short time later.
Authorities say the two had been a couple for approximately 10 years, but that Allende was in the process of breaking up with Lopez-Ordones in the time preceding her death.
