A Port Jefferson man pleaded guilty Monday to killing a Selden father of three.

Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney says Alejandro Vargas-Diaz admitted to shooting Albert Rodriguez-Lopez in 2018. It happened following a fight between the two men at a pool hall, according to court documents.

Prosecutors say Vargas-Diaz then fled the state. He was arrested in Florida three years later and extradited back to New York.

Vargas-Diaz is expected to be sentenced to 23 years to life in prison.

He will face a judge in September.
