An illegal alien who worked as an Idaho ranch hand faces up to life in prison without parole, and deportation, after pleading no contest to killing and decapitating a northeast Nevada woman in 2016.
47-year-old Jose de Jesus Segundo-Huizar entered his plea Monday in Elko District Court in the slaying of Carmen Magallanes-Sanchez. Prosecutors aren’t sure about the motive for the slaying, but that Segundo-Huizar said he knew Magalanes-Sanchez. Segundo-Huizar lived in Jerome, Idaho. He remains jailed in Elko pending sentencing. Magalanes-Sanchez lived with her boyfriend in the small town of Ryndon, Nevada.
