It began as a murder-for-hire homicide investigation in 2012. Now, 11 years later, the man accused of the crime has pleaded guilty. Jose Martin Perez-Sanchez was sentenced in court to 30 years in prison for killing 25-year-old Richard Vasallo in Cutler Bay, but he will get credit for the 11 years he's served. Martin Perez-Sanchez's former co-defendant, however, was liberated of all charges earlier this month after a jury trial found her not guilty. Dianelis de la Caridad-Fonseca was initially accused of hiring Martin Perez-Sanchez to kill in exchange for $600 and help with his immigration status.
