A Las Vegas man who pleaded guilty to killing three people in 2016 was ordered to spend the rest of his life in jail.
Alonso Perez, 30, was sentenced in five separate cases stemming from a series of crimes, including the three killings, robbery with a deadly weapon, attempted murder with a deadly weapon, battery with a deadly weapon, grand larceny and conspiracy.
Although prosecutors stopped pursuing the death penalty for Perez in
exchange for the guilty pleas he made in August, prosecutor Michael Schwartzer said Perez still represents the “worst of the worst” of criminals.
“This is an individual that murdered three individuals in a two-week span,” Schwartzer said. “And it wasn’t from a lack of trying.”
District Judge Tierra Jones sentenced Perez to three back-to-back life terms without the possibility of parole for the killings of 31-year-old Mohammed Robinson, 50-year-old Jeffrey Johnson and 37-year-old Candelario Duran.
