Portland man pleads guilty to manslaughter, gets 16-year sentence in stabbing

Domingus Nobrega Sentenced to 16 Years After Plea Agreement

A man accused of killing his roommate has been handed a 16‑year prison term following a plea agreement that lowered the charge to manslaughter.

Domingus Nobrega entered a plea of guilty to manslaughter in a case that stemmed from the death of his roommate. The plea deal, which cut the original charge, was accepted by the court and led to the sentencing hearing.

During the proceedings, the judge imposed a sentence of 16 years in state prison. The court noted that the agreement had reduced the severity of the charge, which was a key factor in determining the length of the sentence.

Nobrega’s guilty plea was the final step in a legal process that began with the investigation of the roommate’s death. The sentence reflects the court’s consideration of both the seriousness of the offense and the terms of the plea agreement.

No additional details about the circumstances of the death or the exact timeline of the legal proceedings were provided in the court documents released to the public.
