In the video player: Remembering “Mamma Linda”—murdered on the street
TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) — A Tucson teen accused of murdering a homeless woman has pled guilty to lesser charges and will get probation only.
70-year-old Linda Mendibles was a homeless woman loved by many. She was often referred to as 'Mamma Linda.'
Back in 2021, police found Mendibles shot to death. They eventually arrested a then-17-year-old for first degree murder in 2022.
The man charged has plead guilty to two amended charges: Possession of a deadly weapon by a prohibited possessor, and tampering with evidence.
A Pima County Superior Court judge has sentenced him to seven years of probation.
