Show Notes
Thirty-eight-year-old Ricky Roybal-Smith received a forty-year sentence for two brutal stabbings in Aurora, Colorado, in June 2025. He pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in the deaths of Jesse Shafer and Scott Davenport, both homeless men found with numerous stab wounds. The crimes were deemed horrific and random, causing shockwaves in the community. Roybal-Smith is also accused of strangling his cellmate, Vincent Chacon, the next day. He faces a key hearing in Denver court on April ninth, which could add more time to his sentence.
