A judge has sentenced a man to nearly four decades behind bars for strangling and shooting his girlfriend on a park trail, causing her to die from her injuries. In a statement, the Kent Police Department announced Giovanni Herrin was sentenced to 37 years in prison for killing his 18-year-old girlfriend, Karyme Barreto-Sabalza, in 2018. Kent Police said Herrin had already been convicted twice in connection with Barreto-Sabalza’s death. Court records show he was found guilty again in July. On June 16, 2018, Herrin, who was 19 at the time, "lured" Barreto-Sabalza to Salt Air Vista Park in Kent, then strangled her and shot her in the head. He fled, stole her car, took money from her bank account, and used the cash to buy marijuana. Police said Herrin left an injured Barreto-Sabalza on the park trail. A witness reportedly found her and called for help, but Barreto-Sabalza died from her injuries.
