WASHINGTON — A Maryland man who went on a shooting spree in 2016 that left two people dead and spurred a daylong manhunt was sentenced in court for his Montgomery County crimes Friday afternoon.
Eulalio Tordil was sentenced to life without parole plus three consecutive life sentences for the attack that left two people dead and two wounded. In April, Tordil, of Adelphi, pleaded guilty to two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of attempted first-degree murder in a Montgomery County courtroom.
Judge Sharon Burrell said Tordil committed the ultimate crime and deserved the ultimate punishment.
“[He] committed murders and attempted murders in cold blood,” Burrell said.
As part of an earlier plea deal, Tordil admitted to the crimes in exchange for a sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole.
The May 6, 2016, Montgomery County shootings resulted in a manhunt that involved more than 100 police officers.
Tordil wounded a woman during a botched carjacking and shot two good Samaritans who came to her aid. One of the men who stepped in to help, Malcom Winffel, died.
As police responded to that scene, Tordil shot and killed Claudina Molina while attempting to steal her SUV outside a Connecticut Avenue Giant Store.
Police would later discover that the shooting spree began a day earlier in Prince George’s County when Tordil murdered his estranged wife, Gladys, outside of a school. The former Federal Protective Service officer pleaded guilty to her murder in June and will be sentenced to life without parole Sept. 6, according to the Prince George’s County State’s Attorney’s Office.
Tordil did not speak in court Friday.
