Witnesses at the function said they saw the woman’s new lover go over to say hello to her mother and hug her. Arroyo became upset and shot at the victim.
A woman and her son who also witnessed the shooting said Arroyo and the man were walking together earlier in the day before he shot him several times, then got close to him and shot him in the head.
When investigators went over to speak with witnesses, they said Arroyo confessed to them that he had shot the victim because he saw him hugging his ex-girlfriend. At the time of his arrest, Arroyo was given a bond of $1 million.
On May 8, he signed a plea agreement and was sentenced to 45 years in state jail on one count of murder and 20 years in jail for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Arroyo’s sentence will run concurrently. He was given a jail credit of 1147 days.
