GREELEY, Colo. (Weld County D.A.) – A 27-year-old Weld County man is facing up to 18 years in prison after he plead guilty Tuesday to a 2010 fatal stabbing.

Colin-Tapia plead guilty to Second Degree Murder – Heat of Passion, a class three felony. He faces 10 to 18 years in the Colorado Department of Corrections.
A judge will sentence him on June 4 at 1:30 p.m. in Division 12.
