A second man arrested in connection with the 2020 stabbing death of a former Harlingen football star pleaded guilty to murder.

Angel Pizano was sentenced Thursday to 15 years in jail in connection with the death of Lesley Maurice Hunter, court records show.

Hunter died in October 2020, nine days after he was stabbed on the 3200 block of North Sunshine Strip.

Hunter was a running back through his senior year at Harlingen High School in 1994.
