Today Stromy Torres pleaded guilty to multiple crimes, including child abuse. From January through May 2022, her 2-year-old little boy was severely abused then hospitalized with multiple fractures in different stages of healing.
Torres left the toddler with her boyfriend, Steven Gallegos, who had been previously convicted of child abuse resulting in death in a separate case.
While out of custody, Torres was pulled over for a DWI and was found in possession of drugs in May 2022.
Then, this July, she was caught selling fentanyl in an undercover drug bust.
Torres faces 15 years in the Department of Corrections. Sentencing will take place at a later date.
Gallegos has already been sentenced for his part in the abuse of the child.

The 15-year-old charged with firing a gunshot at Coronado Shopping Center on Black Friday will remain in custody as his case makes its way through the judicial process. A single gunshot was heard at the mall and sent shoppers and employees into a panic. The teen is due back in court December 15 for another hearing.
How can we get updates of this case since he is a minor?..
That was a senseless incident with no regard to public safety. Also very costly to the businesses of Coronado Center. I commend the BCSO Lt for his foot pursuit of offender with complete disregard for his own safety. Very brave of you Sir! Also my commendations to our District Attorney and team for fighting to keep him incarcerated through out judicial process. Never have I seen such aggressiveness, by the DAs office, to protect the good people of ABQ and Bernalillo Cty. Way to go Sam!
