A woman who was involved in the beating of a Detroit firefighter to death was sentenced Friday morning.
Nicole O'Neill, 33, was the third person sentenced for Dave Madrigal's murder. She pleaded guilty to second degree murder earlier this year and will be sentenced before Judge Paul Cusick at 9 a.m. Friday. The 59-year-old Detroit firefighters was killed in his home on Vaughn Street in December 2015. Police said an upstairs bedroom at Madrigal's home had been ransacked and a safe was missing.
Timmy Soto, 32, Nicole O'Neill, 33, and 19-year-old Christian Rasnick all originally were charged with felony murder, armed robbery, arson and larceny. After Madrigal's murder and the home's ransacking, Soto and Rasnick stole Madrigal's SUV, drove it to an alley and set it on fire, prosecutors said.
