A 19th Judicial District jury found 28-year-old Andrew Sweatt guilty of murdering his mother after a eight-day trial on Wednesday. 

Immediately following the verdict, Weld County District Court Judge Vincente Vigil sentenced Sweatt to life in prison without the possibility of parole, according to a news release from the 19th Judicial District Attorney’s office. 

Greeley Police Department officers responded to the home the 900 block of 4th Avenue at around 5:30 p.m. on Dec. 8, 2022 after Sweatt called them and told them he had shot his mother.

The mother, 50-year-old Angela Eyestone, was found unresponsive on a couch and taken to a nearby hospital where she later died from her injuries. She had been shot 10 times, according to a press release from the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office.

Sweatt used a handgun that he purchased the day earlier, according to the release.

“There are no winners here today,” Chief Deputy District Attorney Michael Pirraglia said in the release. “This was a senseless act. It was a cold killing and this defendant has had such a callous attitude about it all. Angela was so much to so many people. She cared and made places better. No family should be grieving the way this family is grieving here today.”
