Jose Gonzalez, the man convicted of first-degree murder for the killing of FDNY EMT Yadira Arroyo, learned his fate Wednesday morning after an apology that fell flat with his victim's family.
Jose Gonzalez has now been sentenced to life in prison without parole for the murder of FDNY EMT Yadira Arroyo back in 2017. FOX 5 NY's Jessica Formoso explains what the decision means for the victim's family.Jose Gonzalez, the man convicted of first-degree murder for the killing of FDNY EMT Yadira Arroyo, learned his fate Wednesday morning. He was sentenced to life in prison without parole. It was an emotional day, six years after Arroyo’s death.
"As of today, we are going to pick up the pieces of our broken hearts and we are going to start celebrating her life, her memory her legacy. We are going to remember Yadi the person who she was, not how she died," said Ali Acevedo-Hernandez, Yadi’s aunt. Three impact statements were read, one of those statements from Arroyo's aunt, who asked the judge for the maximum sentence, "a life for a life.
"Today, Jose Gonzalez was sentenced to life in prison without parole for the horrific and senseless death of Yadira Arroyo, a mother of five. It closes a long and difficult chapter for the victim’s family and her FDNY colleagues, who have waited for justice for six years," said Bronx DA Darcel Clark. "Despite the sentencing, Yadi will forever be missed by her loved ones, and the pain will always be there.
The career criminal, who had 31 prior arrests on the night he killed Arroyo, also read his own statement right before he learned his fate, asking for forgiveness. "I was intoxicated, I never knew what was going on, I never meant to hurt anyone, it was an accident, I’m sorry."But his words meant nothing to the family. "If you look at his face, he has no remorse," said Vanessa Hernandez, Arroyo’s cousin.
