LOS ANGELES—A Philippines national who fatally stabbed a fellow crew member on a container ship en route from Shanghai to Los Angeles was sentenced Nov. 7 to 20 years in federal prison.
Michael Monegro, 44, pleaded guilty in May in LA federal court to one count of committing an act of violence against a person onboard a ship that is likely to endanger the vessel’s safe navigation, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
