An Adams County District Court judge announced the sentence Wednesday after Marcos Gutierrez pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in the Adams County District Court on June 24.
“This was a horrific and gruesome crime,” said Brian Mason, the 17th Judicial District Attorney, in a news release. “Our hearts go out to the victim and her family. I hope this sentence today will give them some measure of closure and peace.”
In April 2020, Gutierrez was tripping LSD – a hallucinogen – in an Aurora apartment when he started looking for weapons, according to witnesses. After finding a knife in the kitchen, he slit his girlfriend’s throat when she left the bathroom. A witness reports that she asked him, “Why did you do that? What did you do?” She fell to the ground, then died later at a hospital.
