Uribe was sentenced to life for the murder of David Navidad-Parra. Sanchez's courtroom arrest is a separate accusation.

Uribe's life sentence after a guilty plea is the judgment on the murder case. It is not a finding about what happened in the courtroom afterward. Alberto Ontiveros Sanchez's arrest and release on his own recognizance is a separate accusation about courtroom conduct: a booking and an own-recognizance release are not a conviction on the assault allegation. Uribe remains the person sentenced for the murder.

David Navidad-Parra, 27, a U.S. Army captain and West Point graduate, was shot in 2022 during a private vehicle sale. The Phoenix Police Department reported that the vehicle was later found burned in Glendale. Abel Uribe pleaded guilty to first-degree murder in that killing. On Wednesday, Sept. 22, 2026, he was in Maricopa County Superior Court, at the South Court Tower in Phoenix, and was sentenced to life in prison. That life sentence is the judgment on the plea. It is not a trial verdict.

After Alberto Ontiveros Sanchez, 55, Navidad-Parra's father-in-law, delivered a victim-impact statement, he allegedly lunged and punched Uribe, who was handcuffed and in leg chains, about four or five times in the back of the head. The defense said Sanchez saw Uribe laughing or snickering. The judge cleared the courtroom. Sanchez was arrested. The judge condemned courtroom violence and released Sanchez on his own recognizance, acknowledging the grief. Defense remarks reported that Sanchez has no prior criminal history. FOX 10 Phoenix published the courtroom-attack video story on Thursday, Sept. 24, 2026. The arrest and the release are not the murder judgment. Sanchez is presumed innocent of any new charge unless and until he is convicted.
