Authorities say a Union County jury is convicting a man of first-degree murder for a stabbing death in Dakota Dunes.
Forty-one-year-old Alfredo Castellanos-Rosales was found guilty Wednesday, according to Attorney General Marty Jackley.
Prosecutors say Castellanos-Rosales fatally stabbed a 23-year-old man in 2023. The victim’s body was found in a Dakota Dunes apartment.
Castellanos-Rosales was later arrested in Mexico.
“This verdict delivers justice to Jordan and her family,” said Jackley. “This was a brutal and senseless act of violence and the jury’s decision affirms that the defendant will be held fully accountable. Thank you to the investigators, prosecutors, and witnesses who ensured that the truth was heard, and justice was served.”
When Castellanos-Rosales is sentenced, he faces a minimum sentence of life in prison and the possibility of the death penalty.
