ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — A man has agreed to take a plea deal in the case of a deadly shooting inside of a northeast Albuquerque movie theater last June.
Enrique Padilla agreed to plead no contest to second-degree felony murder with a firearm enhancement and third-degree felony tampering with evidence. Padilla was accused of shooting and killing Michael Tenorio over seats inside of the Century Rio 24 theater in northeast Albuquerque.
Jury selection began Tuesday, just a day before Padilla agreed to the plea deal.
With the deal, Padilla faces 20 years in the Department of Corrections. Sentencing will take place at a later date.
