Eduardo Galindo-Ramirez, 32, received an 18.5-year sentence on Friday after previously pleading guilty to second-degree murder for the death of 24-year-old Andrea Casarubias Romero, according to the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office.

Casarubias Romero was found dead inside Galindo-Ramirez’s residence near Indian School Road and 27th Avenue on May 5, 2024.
