Description:
Denver, Colorado, criminal defense lawyer represented the Defendant charged with first-degree murder.
Reh and three other defendants were charged with shooting and killing 42-year-old Ma Kaing in July of 2022 in the 13-hundred block of Xenia Street in east Denver. One of the other defendants was also found guilty at trial of First-Degree Murder and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. The remaining two defendants pleaded guilty to Second-Degree Murder and will be sentenced in September.
"Pa Reh and three other men took the life of Ma Kaing, a beloved member and leader of her community, and of Denver. Her murder was an unspeakable tragedy for her family, for her immigrant community and, frankly, for all of us in Denver. Today, Pa Reh was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for his senseless act of violence. That sentence cannot bring Ma Kaing back, but it can send the powerful message that violence will not be tolerated in Denver,†said DA Walsh. "I hope the sentence will also provide some measure of justice and comfort to the many people who knew and loved Ma Kaing. I want to thank the prosecutors, investigators and victim advocates in the Denver DA's Office, as well as the outstanding homicide detectives with the Denver Police Department, whose incredible work resulted in the successful outcome of this case.â€
The prosecution team was led by Chief Deputy District Attorney Anthony Santos and Associate Deputy District Attorney Kelsey Tipps.
