Man will spend 30 to 50 years in prison

GENESEE COUNTY At his plea hearing last month, Torres said he and his wife Rebecca Torres got into a fight at their Flint home more than two years ago.

He claims he just snapped and shot her, the mother of his two children.

Torres Jr. sat quiet staring and just listening as his wife Rebecca’s family addressed him at his sentencing.

“I just want to tell the court that I’m sorry for everything that’s happened,” Torres Jr. said. “I want to tell my family I’m sorry everything happened this way.”

In December, one day before his trial was scheduled to start, Torres pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and assault with intent to murder for shooting at police when they were trying to arrest him.

He also faces two counts of felony firearm. Torres Jr. said he and his wife got into a fight. He snapped and shot her.
