Alberto Ontiveros-Sanchez, 55, attacked Abel Uribe, 33, during a sentencing hearing on Wednesday in an Arizona courtroom after delivering a victim impact statement for his son-in-law, David Navidad-Parra, who was murdered nearly five years ago. As Uribe sat at the defense table restrained by handcuffs and leg chains, Ontiveros-Sanchez struck him several times before being pulled away by others; he was subsequently arrested and faces charges including aggravated assault. The judge allowed Ontiveros-Sanchez to be released later but expressed that such violent behavior cannot be tolerated in court. Uribe was ultimately sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole for Navidad-Parra's murder.

Story summary
In Phoenix, Arizona, Alberto Sanchez (55), the father-in-law of murdered Army veteran David Navidad-Parra, attacked Abel Uribe (33) during a court sentencing hearing on Wednesday. Video footage shows Sanchez lunging at and punching Uribe multiple times in the head after delivering an emotional speech about his son's murder. Uribe was being sentenced to life in prison for Navidad-Parra’s death, which occurred in 2022 when the veteran went missing after meeting Uribe for a car test drive and was later found dead. Despite Sanchez’s attorney arguing that he “lost it” due to overwhelming grief, Judge Kristin Culbertson refused to show leniency for the violent outburst in court.
