A woman who beat her parents to death in Sparks and set their home on fire was sentenced to two consecutive life sentences in prison without a chance for parole.
Alexis Cynthia Alegria, 31, was also sentenced June 26 to 5 years to 15 years in prison for arson to run consecutive to the murder sentences. The Washoe County District Attorney’s Office said the murders were because the parents wouldn’t allow her to do drugs in the home. Alegria pleaded guilty in May to first degree murder and arson.
