A man has pleaded guilty to fatally stabbing another man after an argument outside of an Aurora apartment complex last summer.
Norenty Ropon, 23, pleaded guilty to a second-degree murder charge Tuesday, according to court records. He was arrested July 13 in connection with the stabbing of 33-year-old Haruna Bizabishaka Bonanee.
Ropon will be sentenced Aug. 30. He was initially charged with second-degree murder, felony menacing and assault with a deadly weapon.
On July 13, Ropon and Bonanee were arguing outside of an apartment complex in the 1600 block of Alton Street, the Aurora Police Department said in a press release last year. Ropon then pulled a knife and stabbed Bonanee in the neck, police said. Bonanee died after he was taken to the hospital.
Police said they arrested Ropon, who was still armed with a knife, a short distance from the scene.
