Katrina Mendoza Sentenced | Torture Death of 5 Yr Old • SENTENCES

SAN ANTONIO – A judge on Monday sentenced a woman to 45 years in prison in connection with the torture death of her 5-year-old daughter.

The sentence handed down by 187th District Court Judge Stephanie Boyd was the maximum punishment allowed for Katrina Mendoza, who accepted a plea deal to a charge of injury of a child with serious bodily injury.

The defendant and her ex-boyfriend, Jose Ruiz, were convicted in the February 2022 death of Mercedes Losoya, who died from what officials said was called extreme physical abuse.
