ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill. -- (WGN) -- A suburban Chicago man has been sentenced to 38 years in prison after pleading guilty to fatally shooting his wife as she carried their 1-year-old child last year.
The (Arlington Heights) Daily Herald reports that 43-year-old Jose Arturo Salgado entered the plea to a first-degree murder charge on Thursday.
