The parents of a 19-year-old nightclub worker whose throat was slit by a former Rutgers’ basketball player are angry that he was only sentenced to 22 years in prison in Tijuana, Mexico.
Logan Kelley, 27, admitted to murdering Isis Atalia Montoya Romero at the Adelita nightclub in February 2021, when he mistook the 19-year-old mother who worked there for someone else. CCTV footage from several angles shows Kelley walking up behind Montoya Romero with a 4-inch clip-blade military style knife and slitting her throat before running away. She had been previously seen walking with a client at the club.
Kelley apparently did not know his victim, according to local media reports, but instead had intended to hurt another woman he met at the club, which is described as a “traditional mens club” that features dancing and prostitution.
