A Burlington man will spend the rest of his life in prison after being convicted of killing his girlfriend.
Prosecutors said Rigoberto Galvan, 24, shot and killed Stephanie Cresswell-Brenner, a 22-year-old Western Washington University student, after breaking in through a second-floor balcony on Aug. 14, 2019.“You need to send as many cops as you can. I just killed my girlfriend,” Galvan told an emergency dispatcher.
He was convicted of premeditated aggravated first-degree murder and first-degree burglary while armed with a deadly weapon,“The jury also found Galvan guilty of several special verdicts based on him committing the murder and burglary while armed with a firearm, and because the murder was committed against an intimate partner,” the Herald reported.
