A Prince William County man pleaded guilty today to the shooting deaths of three people in 2007, but prosecutors said they would not seek the death penalty.

Anastacio Sanchez Miranda, now 41, shot and killed two men and a woman inside a Woodbridge house Dec. 9, 2007, after he went there looking for the mother of his children, whom he suspected of infidelity, according to police testimony. He also shot and wounded two others, police said.

The slain victims were Rosario Europa Martinez, 24, Juan Manuel Guevara Rios, 28, and Gerardo Lopez Garcia, 25. Prince William Commonwealth's Attorney Paul B. Ebert said he was not seeking the death penalty because relatives of the victims did not want it.

Sanchez Miranda pleaded guilty to numerous charges, including capital and first degree murder, aggravated malicious wounding and the use of a firearm in the commission of a felony in Prince William County Circuit Court.
