PORTLAND, Ore. -- A Portland man who killed his girlfriend and then cut himself has been sentenced to life in prison.
Miguel Camellon Montalvo, 35, pleaded guilty to murder constituting domestic violence in a plea hearing today in Portland.
Although he was sentenced to life in prison, Camellon Montalvo will have the possibility of parole after 25 years. He would remain on post-prison supervision for the rest of his life if granted parole.
Camellon Montalvo killed 28-year-old Lindsay Babb at her home in the 600 block of North Alberta Street on June 22.
When police arrived, they found Babb's body and Camellon Montalvo with self-inflicted stab wounds. He was taken to a hospital and later arrested.
Babb graduated from high school in Eugene. She was heavily involved in the Oregon Sports Union Rugby Club in the Portland area.
A compilation of daily news articles from around the United States about deaths (including both people and animals) that appear to occur in the context of a past or present intimate relationship, focusing on 2009-present. (NOTE: this blog is limited to incidents that appear in the media and are captured by our search terms. We recognize this is not an exhaustive portrayal of all deaths resulting from intimate violence.) When is society going to realize intimate violence makes victims of us all?
