A 12-year prison sentence has been imposed for the murder of a man who was killed when a drug deal in Bloomington went awry and he was dragged while partly hanging out the window of a speeding SUV.
Lamont Eugene Williams, 22, of Apple Valley, was sentenced on Feb. 24 after jurors in Hennepin County District Court convicted him of second-degree murder in connection with the March 6, 2025, death of 21-year-old Alexif Loeza Galvan, of Bloomington.
With credit for time in jail after his arrest, Williams is expected to serve roughly 8¼ years in prison and the balance on supervised release.
An autopsy by the Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Office found that Loeza Galvan suffered numerous injuries, including to his brain and skull.
“Alexif was a light in all of our lives — always laughing, smiling, and bringing joy to everyone around him,“ his sister Xitlalli Loeza Galvan wrote on an online fundraising page she began to help the family with expenses related to her brother’s death. “He had a deep love for soccer and cherished every moment spent with his family and friends.”
Calls to police about 8:45 p.m. alerted them to an injured man in the street near his home in the 8300 block of 11th Avenue S. Emergency medical responders took Loeza Galvan to HCMC, where he was pronounced dead.
Family members told police that Loeza Galvan left the home to sell Williams marijuana. His mother said minutes later, she heard yelling outside the home.
