A man was sentenced to 14 years to life in prison for stabbing a 30-year-old man to death in a jealous rage.
Miguel Reyes-Carreon, 28, had previously pleaded guilty to second-degree murder for stabbing 30-year-old Jose Ramirez to death inside an apartment in the 2200 block of Statz Street near Carey Avenue.
District Judge John McGroarty sentenced Reyes-Carreon to 10 years to life in prison for the second-degree murder charges and a consecutive four to 10 years in prison for one count of burglary.
Ramirez was talking with Reyes-Carreon's ex-wife, who was his neighbor, in front of her apartment when Reyes-Carreon showed up and began arguing with the woman, police said.
Police said Ramirez went inside her apartment to avoid the argument, but Reyes-Carreon followed him inside, got a knife from the kitchen, confronted Ramirez and stabbed him stabbed several times.
There were several children in the apartment at the time of the attack, police said.
