According to court records, a young man, 26 years of age, was found guilty of first-degree murder on Tuesday for the tragic death of a 22-year-old woman in Lakewood. The victim, Amanda Bobian, was shot outside of a residence on South Marshall Street in May of 2023. Previous reports from Denver7 had stated that Patrick Plasencio was responsible for the shooting.
In related news, a man was identified as a suspect in a fatal shooting in Hampden. Additionally, an Aurora man was recently sentenced to 48 years in prison for murdering his own mother. Another man was arrested for suspicion of murder in Lincoln Park, and a suspect in a Denver murder case is still at large. It's been a tough week for the community, as we continue to grapple with the consequences of these senseless acts of violence.
Investigators believe that Plasencio got into an argument with Bobian before shooting her and fleeing the scene. A jury also found him guilty of attempted murder and two misdemeanor weapons charges. In Colorado, first-degree murder convictions carry a mandatory sentence of life in prison. Plasencio's sentencing is set for December 20th.
In a separate case, Plasencio's brother, Frankie Plasencio, pleaded guilty to manslaughter and being an accessory to a crime in June. He was sentenced to two years in prison, with credit for over a year already served, according to court records. It's a tragic situation for the entire family, and our hearts go out to them during this difficult time.
