Man Gets 26 Years In Prison For Killing 2 Homeless Men

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — An 18-year-old man convicted of bludgeoning two homeless men to death will spend more than 26 years in prison. Nathaniel Carrillo on Tuesday was sentenced to 45 years in prison with 18 ½ years suspended in connection to the deaths of 44-year-old Allison Gorman and 46-year-old Kee Thompson. Carrillo pleaded no contest in July to first-degree murder, second-degree murder and aggravated battery. Authorities say Carrillo, who was 16 at the time of the 2014 attacks, 20-year-old Alex Rios and another teenager attacked the victims as they slept in a vacant lot and beat them with cinder blocks and other objects before stabbing them. Rios was sentenced to 67 years in prison earlier this year. The other teen has not been sentenced yet.
