A man from Arizona, convicted of murder, received a life sentence plus an additional 10 years on May 27. This came after he murdered another person just 16 days after his release in 2020, as reported by the U.S. Attorney’s Office of the District of Arizona.

The 47-year-old, Clifton Nez Hamalowa, was found guilty of fatally shooting Richard Olds in the head multiple times in front of Olds’ young child on the Gila River Indian Community’s reservation land.

As per the report, Hamalowa, together with his siblings, tried to hide his actions by abandoning the victim’s vehicle and leaving the body in a secluded part of the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian reservation, the release detailed.

According to the sentencing notice, Hamalowa is a career offender who stabbed his mother in 1991 with a butcher knife and stabbed and killed a man in 1999. It was also noted that he stabbed a fellow inmate while serving his first sentence.
