Fidencio Abreu, 42, has pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and felony possession of a weapon after he shot his acquaintance, Francisco Vallejo, during an argument in Yonkers, New York. The incident occurred on July 11, 2025, around 2:30 a.m., when police found Vallejo with a gunshot wound to the head. Despite immediate medical assistance, Vallejo succumbed to his injuries shortly after arriving at the hospital. Following the shooting, Abreu fled the scene but was later apprehended by the Yonkers Police Department. District Attorney Susan Cacace expressed her disapproval of Abreu's violent actions, stating, "Rather than resolve an interpersonal dispute with dialogue, the defendant shot his friend in the head." Cacace emphasized the importance of accountability for such behavior, ensuring that Abreu would face significant prison time. He is scheduled for sentencing on June 25, 2026, as the community mourns the loss of Vallejo, who should have been enjoying life with his loved ones.
