ALBUQUERQUE, NM (KRQE) — Patrick Romero was sentenced Friday morning. The sentencing was in connection with the death of Anthony Moya.

The two were allegedly fighting over a woman at a northwest Albuquerque home back in 2019.

Moya’s father said he saw what happened and confronted Romero, who is accused of threatening him with his gun.
