Man pleads guilty to fatally stabbing woman in parking ramp
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A man accused of fatally stabbing a woman in a Minneapolis parking ramp during a robbery last summer has pleaded guilty in Hennepin County District Court.
Forty-six-year-old Benjamin Love pleaded guilty Thursday to second-degree unintentional murder and three other counts in the death of 31-year-old Mai Yer Cha.
Prosecutors say Love was trying to rob Cha's group when they returned to their car just before 1 a.m. on July 1. Cha intervened while Love was holding a knife to her friend's throat and was stabbed in the heart.
The plea agreement calls for Love to serve 24 years in prison.
