Phoenix Police said Alvarez fled the Burger King after the shooting. He was later found in south Phoenix and arrested.On June 25, MCAO said Alvarez was sentenced to 42 years in prison."Not only did a young mother lose her life that night, but multiple young people were also put in harm’s way and will have to live with the trauma of what they saw and heard due to the defendant’s callous actions," Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell said.
