A 45-year-old Manassas man will serve just under 13 years in prison for the 2003 murder of his estranged wife, Marissa Lara, who was found dead in her car in Dupont Circle in May 2003.

Prince William Circuit Court Judge Rossie Alston Jr. on Monday gave Gerardo Lara a 40-year sentence with 27 years and one month suspended. Lara must also serve 10 years probation. Following his sentence, Lara will be deported back to his native Mexico, said Paul Ebert, Prince William commonwealth’s attorney.
