GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — A Green Bay man has been sentenced to life in prison for a drug-related killing in which prosecutors said the victim’s body was later burned at his order. Thirty-four-year-old Pedro Santiago-Marquez was sentenced Tuesday in Brown County Circuit Court to life in prison with the possibility of release on extended supervision in July 2064. The Green Bay Press-Gazette reports a jury convicted Santiago-Marquez in March of first-degree intentional homicide and mutilating a corpse in the 2021 slaying of 36-year-old Jason Mendez-Ramos of Ashwaubenon. Jurors determined Santiago-Marquez either shot or ordered Mendez-Ramos’ shooting on Sept. 27, 2021, and later that day ordered the victim’s body burned.
