SALEM — A Florida man convicted of fatally shooting his ex-girlfriend’s new lover in her Massachusetts apartment has been sentenced to life in prison.
Jose Collazo of Tampa, Fla., was sentenced Monday in Salem Superior Court to the mandatory term for a first-degree murder conviction. He was convicted June 18.
Authorities say the 23-year-old Collazo shot Jose Fuentes three times in the chest in February 2009 after the defendant found the victim in bed with his former girlfriend in her Haverhill apartment. The woman, who had broken up with Collazo a week earlier, is the mother of Collazo’s two children.
His defense lawyer questioned the reliability of some witnesses during the trial.
