Quick Summary

On Wednesday in Phoenix, Alberto Ontiveros Sanchez, 55, attacked Abel Uribe inside Maricopa County Court after Uribe was convicted of murdering Sanchez's son-in-law, David Navidad-Parra. The assault occurred as Uribe awaited sentencing for the fatal crime committed in 2022, with Sanchez allegedly striking Uribe multiple times from behind while he sat waiting to be sentenced. Uribe had used Navidad-Parra’s credit card after the murder and later pleaded guilty to first-degree murder. Judge Kristin Culbertson declined to show leniency towards Sanchez despite his lawyer's claim that emotional distress caused him to lose control.

Story summary

In Phoenix, Arizona, Alberto Sanchez (55), the father-in-law of murdered Army veteran David Navidad-Parra, attacked Abel Uribe (33) during a court sentencing hearing on Wednesday. Video footage shows Sanchez lunging at and punching Uribe multiple times in the head after delivering an emotional speech about his son's murder. Uribe was being sentenced to life in prison for Navidad-Parra’s death, which occurred in 2022 when the veteran went missing after meeting Uribe for a car test drive and was later found dead. Despite Sanchez’s attorney arguing that he “lost it” due to overwhelming grief, Judge Kristin Culbertson refused to show leniency for the violent outburst in court.
