Yuma Gas station killer accepts plea

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - The man accused of murdering a man at a Yuma gas station back in 2019 accepted a plea agreement today.

23-year-old Gabriel Aragon was in Yuma Superior Court today.

Aragon has originally faced a slew of charges, including premeditated first degree murder as well as a number of lesser ones.

But after taking the plea offered by the state, Aragon pled guilty to one charge of 2nd degree murder.

He had multiple gunshot wounds.

He will spend 16 to 22 years in prison with no possibility of probation and be forced to pay a $150,000 fine.

He will sentenced on January 19.
