A Palm Beach County jury found Christopher Soto guilty of one count of Second-Degree Murder and one count of Tampering with Physical Evidence.

Following a 5-day trial, Soto was convicted on all charges. Evidence presented during the trial showed that on June 23, 2023, Soto fatally stabbed the victim and then attempted to conceal the crime by discarding the victim’s body and other evidence.

Sentencing is scheduled for June 18, 2026.

Assistant State Attorneys Alexa Ruggiero and Jo Wilensky prosecuted the case. The Palm Beach County State Attorney’s Office thanks the detectives with the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office for their thorough investigation and dedication to this case.
