(Sioux City, IA) — The third person charged in the New Year’s Day fatal shooting in Morningside has entered a guilty plea to a charge of second-degree murder. Eighteen-year-old Carlos Morales entered the plea during a Friday appearance in Woodbury County Court. Authorities say Morales, his brother Christopher, and Anthony Bauer fired dozens of shots into a home just before 1:00 a-m. Mia Kritis was killed and at least three other people attending a house party were wounded. The other two suspects in the shooting have also pleaded guilty and have been sentenced to long prison terms. Twenty-year-old Liliana Gutierrez is charged with reckless use of a firearm. Prosecutors say she drove the three shooters to and from the scene.
