YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) – A Yuma man has been sentenced to 25 years in prison for a fatal stabbing last year.
33-year-old Mauricio Robles pled guilty last month to second-degree murder and burglary.
In April of 2025, Robles was arrested after officers arrived at a scene where a man had been found stabbed to death.
Authorities say Robles ran to a nearby apartment, barricading himself and claiming he was armed. He later tried to escape through the back, but was caught and taken into custody.
Robles began his sentence Friday.
