Adre Baroz, nicknamed “Pyscho,” was sentenced to life in prison for the 2020 homicides of five people in the San Luis Valley, according to court records.
Baroz, 29, received five life sentences on Friday with credit for time served—1255 days—after pleading guilty to a total of 13 felony charges in February, including five counts of first-degree murder and five counts of tampering with a deceased human body.
Korina Arroyo, Selena Esquibel, Xavier Zeven Garcia, Myron Martinez and Shayla Hammel were killed and their bodies dumped near the Colorado-New Mexico border.
Prosecutors said Baroz committed the murders over a two-month period between Aug. 25 and Nov. 13, 2020 and burned their bodies in a pit in Los Sauses, a community south of Alamosa.
Co-defendants Julius Baroz and Francisco Ramirez also pleaded guilty to charges related to the murders in February. Julius pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit murder and received 25 years in prison with credit for 1202 days served. Ramirez pleaded guilty to three counts of tampering with a deceased human body and was served three eight-year sentences.
