Title: Woman sentenced to 28 years for murdering U.S. Navy sailor

Norfolk, VA

Nildaliz Arline Flores-Roman has been sentenced to 28 years in prison after being convicted of second-degree murder. The sentencing occurred on Friday following her conviction for the shooting death of Pfc. Katrina Ann Anderson.

The incident took place last year when Anderson tried to intervene in a fight between Flores-Roman and her wife. Anderson, who was celebrating her 28th birthday, was shot after the altercation escalated outside their apartment.

Flores-Roman fled the scene after the shooting, which left Anderson fatally injured outside the apartment on East Little Creek Road. The victim was pronounced dead at the scene following a 911 call from Flores-Roman’s wife, who described a history of emotional abuse in their marriage to detectives.

After a two-day trial in June, jurors reached a verdict within 20 minutes, finding Flores-Roman guilty. Commonwealth’s Attorney Ramin Fatehi commented on the tragedy, noting that Anderson was trying to help a fellow sailor and did not deserve to die.

Flores-Roman’s actions and lack of remorse during the trial were noted by the prosecution. Anderson’s attempt to mediate the conflict has been acknowledged as an act of bravery in a troubling situation.
