Fifteen years in prison is the sentence for a 33 year old West Ocean City man for attempted 2nd degree murder. Court officials say Said Espinal-Duenas pleaded guilty last August and was sentenced on Friday. The Worcester County Bureau of Investigation assisted Maryland State Police after a stabbing on Harbor Road in West Ocean City in August of 2020. The victim was treated for multiple stab wounds – the suspect was the victim’s roommate. Espinal-Duenas was angry at complaints from neighbors about his loud music, but stabbed his roommate when he also asked him to be quiet. The victim’s juvenile son heard his father screaming and saw Espinal-Duenas with a knife in his hand and ran for help.
