(CORONA AND ELMHURST)
Corona man pleads guilty to
manslaughter in fatal stabbing
of girlfriend in 2020: DA
Corona resident Edwin Sarmiento on Friday, March 11, pleaded guilty to
manslaughter in the fi rst degree for stabbing his girlfriend to death at their
Van Cleef Street apartment in 2020, according to Queens District Attorney
Melinda Katz.
Sarmiento, 31, admitted to killing 30-year-old Juliet Ximena Galindo
Puentes before Queens Supreme Court Justice Kenneth Holder.
Katz said that around 4:10 a.m. on Feb. 8, 2020, Sarmiento and the victim
argued inside the bedroom of the residence they shared. The heated
exchange turned violent when Sarmiento grabbed a knife and stabbed his
girlfriend numerous times. Sarmiento then went to the kitchen for an even
bigger knife, broke down a door to access where the victim attempted to hide
and continued to stab her repeatedly. Sarmiento then fl ed the apartment.
He was arrested a short time aft erward at a nearby gas station in bloodsoaked
clothes, carrying a bag fi lled with money, phones, passports and
other belongings, according to Katz.
EMS rushed Galindo Puentes to a nearby hospital, where she was
pronounced dead.
“The defendant has now admitted to the brutal slaying of a young woman,”
Katz said. “The victim was stabbed with at least two diff erent knives and
sustained multiple puncture wounds. At his next appearance, the court will
sentence the defendant to a lengthy term of incarceration for his actions.”
Justice Holder set the defendant’s sentencing for March 25, and he indicated
he will sentence Sarmiento to 24 years in prison, to be followed by fi ve years
of post-release supervision.
