LAKEWOOD, Colo. — A Jefferson County jury convicted a man on multiple charges, including first-degree murder, in connection with a shooting in Lakewood in April of last year.

Shortly before 3 a.m. On April 30, 2023, agents from the Lakewood Police Department responded to a shooting at a home in the 1200 block of South Marshall Street. When they arrived, they found Amanda Bobian's body on the front porch.

Two brothers, Frankie and Patrick Plasencio were arrested. According to an arrest affidavit, the brothers and another man had been asked to leave the residence due to an altercation. They went outside, and the altercation continued on the front porch, the document says.
