An Arkansas man who confessed to fatally shooting his estranged wife, an emergency dispatcher, when she filed for divorce pleaded guilty and will spend the next 60 years behind bars.

According to court documents, Omar Pena-Romero, 24, entered a guilty plea on Nov. 18, more than one year after police apprehended him after he shot his wife, Cassandra Pena-Romero, 27, as she was leaving her job at the headquarters of Metropolitan Emergency Medical Services (MEMS) in Little Rock. Moments before she was shot, Cassandra texted “SOS” to her colleagues inside. They found her bleeding in the parking lot, and she succumbed to her injuries four days later.
