The Final Suspect in a New Year’s Sioux City Killing Is Sentenced
The last of four people charged in a fatal shooting at a New Year’s Eve party in Sioux City has been sentenced to seven years in prison.
Liliana Gutierrez, 21, was sentenced Monday for driving three other suspects to a home where the party was being held on Jan. 1, 2021. The three suspects fired at least 27 shots into the house, killing 18-year-old Mia Kritis and wounding three others.
Gutierrez, of Sioux City, pleaded guilty in February to two felony charges of reckless use of a firearm and a misdemeanor charge of accessory after the fact.
