A Sheridan man will spend the rest of his life in prison for the 2024 murder of his girlfriend, judicial officials announced Monday.
Following a five-day jury trial, 54-year-old Roy Jones was convicted of second-degree murder and three habitual criminal sentence enhancers in the death of Angela Cordova, according to a news release from the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office.
Arapahoe County District Court Judge Joshua Williford sentenced Jones last Wednesday to 192 years in the Colorado Department of Corrections, court records show.
Typically, a second-degree murder conviction carries a maximum sentence of 48 years, according to the District Attorney’s office. The three habitual criminal sentence enhancers allowed the judge to lengthen Jones’ sentence.
Cordova’s son called 911 on May 30, 2024, to report a shooting, the District Attorney’s Office said in the release. When officers arrived, they found Cordova lying in bed. She had been shot in the head.
