Attack on Killer During Sentencing in Phoenix Court Caught on Video

The judge cleared the courtroom after the outburst, and Sanchez was later released on his own recognizance.

New video shows the explosive moment a murder victim’s father-in-law attacked the convicted killer during a Maricopa County courtroom sentencing. Alberto Ontiveros Sanchez was arrested Wednesday after authorities say he punched Abel Uribe several times inside a Maricopa County courtroom. Uribe was being sentenced to life in prison for the 2022 killing of David Navidad-Parra, Sanchez’s son-in-law. Sanchez had just delivered an emotional victim impact statement before the confrontation. His attorney told the judge Uribe was laughing and snickering as Sanchez returned to the gallery. Sanchez now faces aggravated assault and disruption-of-a-judicial-proceeding charges.
