GOSHEN – The Newburgh man who beat another man to death with a
metal pipe outside a Newburgh bar in April has been sentenced in Orange
County Court to 18 years to life in prison.
Alvaro Ramos-Lopez, 27, bludgeoned Armando Soriano-Martel, 40, of Newburgh
on April 3 outside Rey Del Pollo Bar and Restaurant on Washington Street.
Ramos-Lopez was arrested in Westchester County two days later and was
charged with murder.
“Senseless acts of violence plague our communities, and that is
especially true when perpetrators use weapons against their victims,”
said District Attorney David Hoovler. “My office will work together
with victims, police and community leaders to address the issue of violence
in this county. Together we will strive to make Orange County a safer
place to live.”
