Del Angel will have to serve 2014 sentence consecutively with 20 years for manslaughter

The man convicted in the 2017 fatal shooting of Kristofer Armstrong on Kenwood Drive will have to serve a sentence from a 2014 case in addition to his 20 year sentence for manslaughter.

Attorneys for Sergio Del Angel clarified with Judge John Atkins during a hearing Wednesday morning that he must serve a four-year sentence that had been probated for a theft and receiving stolen property case consecutively with his 20-years for killing Armstrong.

Judge Atkins says Del Angel will get credit for the three years he’s already served for the manslaughter charge.

Del Angel asked Judge Atkins about a vehicle in evidence being released and was told the defense and Commonwealth are in discussions about that.

Del Angel shot Armstrong on the front porch of a home on Kenwood Drive on May 11, 2017. A request in August to withdraw his guilty plea and to proceed to trial was denied.
