Man to serve 12 years over killing of Cuban butcher

“I want to apologize to the deceased family. I never meant to take their loved one’s life.”

That was the statement by Patrick Smith Felix to the Court and the surviving relatives of Cuban butcher—Ofredis Duarte Campos—just before he was handed a 24-year sentence for the part he played in the man’s killing.

Campos was shot as he made his way to work on what tomorrow morning will be four years to the day he lost his life.
