A Texas man who was 16 when he fatally shot a 62-year-old grandmother walking from a parking lot to her gym will spend the rest of his life in prison.

Ricardo Rivas, 20, learned his fate on Friday in the killing of Elsa Mikeska, 62. He pleaded guilty to murder, avoiding the death penalty and making him eligible for parole after 30 years.

Rivas killed Mikeska at about 4:50 a.m. on June 17, 2021, outside her gym in the 10500 block of Fuqua Street, officials said.
