The third and final suspect charged in a 17-year-old Denver girl’s 2022 shooting death pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 30 years in prison, according to court records.
Jasmine Rivas-Hernandez was found shot in an alley in the 1500 block of Quebec Street on March 26, 2022. Robert Adam Solano, 36; Joseph Thomas Chavez, 28; and Shiloh Virginia Fresquez, 23; were arrested in connection with her death in January 2023.
Solano was the last suspect in the case to plead guilty, court records show. He was set to go to trial on charges of first-degree murder and abuse of a corpse at the end of April, but on March 24 pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and was sentenced to 30 years in the Colorado Department of Corrections.
He is already serving a 46-year prison sentence at the Limon Correctional Facility after he was convicted of second-degree murder in the July 2022 shooting death of 27-year-old Ramon Castro Contreras at a Lakewood car wash, according to 9News and state records.
Chavez was charged with being an accessory to a crime and abuse of a corpse in Rivas-Hernandez’s death and pleaded guilty to one felony count of being an accessory in November 2023. He was sentenced to four years in prison.
Fresquez was charged with being an accessory to a crime and pleaded guilty to attempting to influence a public servant, a felony, in June 2023. She was sentenced to five years in community corrections but is now in prison after violating the terms of her sentence, according to the Denver District Attorney’s Office.
