ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — A judge sentenced Ty Gallegos to 10 years in prison after he pleaded guilty to first-degree murder for the death of a local mother.

Gallegos was one of five young people charged with shooting Kayla Montano at a gas station near I-25 and Comanche. Montano was with her fiancée and her 7 year old when it happened.

Police say the murder was a case of mistaken identity. The teens thought Montano’s SUV belonged to the person who tried to rob two of them earlier that night.
