Spring Valley Man Sentenced For Fatal Stabbing

SPRING VALLEY, NY — A Spring Valley man will be spending time in prison for the stabbing death of another man. Rockland County District Attorney Thomas E. Walsh II said Tuesday that Jose Alejandro Icu-Madrid, 24, of Spring Valley, was sentenced to 22 years in state prison in connection with the killing of Jairo Danilo Sandoval del Cid.

“I commend the work of my office and the Ramapo Police Department in bringing closure to the family of the victim, Jairo Danilo Sandoval. First Assistant Dominic Crispino and his team did a fantastic job,” Walsh said.

On Sept. 24, Icu-Madrid pleaded guilty to one count of first-degree manslaughter, a felony.

Authorities said, around 4 a.m. Feb. 20, Icu-Madrid, Sandoval del Cid and others were socializing at a Northbrook Road apartment in Spring Valley. Icu-Madrid and Sandoval del Cid got into an argument. During the argument, Icu-Madrid stabbed Sandoval del Cid one time in the chest and one time in the back, which caused the man’s death.

Icu-Madrid then fled New York, but he was later apprehended in Boston, Massachusetts.
