A 22-year-old man faces up to 44 years in prison when sentenced after pleading guilty in the 2020 shootings of three people at an entertainment district in a Phoenix suburb.

Armando Hernandez on Friday pleaded guilty to two counts of attempted first-degree murder and two of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

Under a plea agreement, dozens of other counts were dismissed.
