Guilty Plea Entered: Allen Ivanov Pleads Guilty To Killing Ex-Girlfriend, Two Others At A House Party

A 20-year-old man pleaded guilty after he was accused last July of killing his ex-girlfriend and two other people at a house party. The plea came a day before a judge was supposed to decide on whether he will be suffering the death penalty.

CBS News reported that the shooting took place last July 30 in Mukilteo. The guilty plea was entered on Monday and the suspect was identified as Allen Ivanov. According to reports, Ivanov was upset that he and his former girlfriend have broken up and that she seemed to have moved on after he saw her with other males at the house party.

Ivanov pleaded guilty to the three counts of aggravated first-degree murder and two counts of attempted murder. Aside from the three killed, there were two more people injured. The ex-girlfriend was identified as Anna Bui and the other two fatally shot were identified as Jacob Long and Jordan Ebner. All of them were 19 years old, New York Daily News reported.

Ivanov bought an AR-15 style rifle with two 30-round ammunition before he consummated the crime. He never fired the weapon before he went to the house party and had to read the instruction manual outside the home where the party was taking place.

Ivanov also wrote a six-page letter explaining that he was upset over the break-up adding that there was nothing wrong with him. He also said that there was nothing wrong with the way he thinks and that he was just selfish that is why he chose to shoot his former girlfriend.

Last week, Snohomish County Superior Court Judge Janice Ellis declined the request of Ivanov's legal team to have more time in order to get more evidence. The defense team of Ivanov wanted to prove that Ivanov had untreated neurological problems.

Meanwhile, the sentencing is scheduled on Jan. 12. It is unclear what Ivanov's punishment would be.
