TWENTY ONE YEAR OLD FABIAN RUBIO PLED GUILTY THIS MORNING TO THE MURDER OF 15 YEAR OLD DESI JONES IN DECEMBER OF 2014.
DESI JONES WAS HOME ON CHRISTMAS BREAK WHEN HER PARTIALLY BURNED BODY WAS FOUND IN A WOODED AREA NOT FAR FROM LAKE OF THE WOODS.
AT THE TIME OF HER DEATH, POLICE SAY RUBIO LIVED ON THE SAME STREET AS JONES. Police were able to identify Rubio as a suspect after looking at the last electronic messages Jones had sent.

SENTENCING WAS LEFT UP TO THE JUDGE. GUIDELINES FOR THE SENTENCING CALL FOR A MINIMUM OF 45 YEARS IN PRISON AND A MAXIMUM OF 65 YEARS. RUBIO WILL FALL UNDER THE NEW RELEASE GUIDELINES WHICH MEANS HE MUST SERVE AT LEAST 75 PERCENT OF HIS SENTENCE.
