Guy Johnson, 57, from Washington, D.C., has been sentenced to 29 years in prison for the murder of Kriston Robinson in 2020. The announcement was made by U.S. Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro and Chief Pamela Smith of the Metropolitan Police Department.
Johnson was found guilty on March 10, 2025, by a jury on charges including second-degree murder while armed, assault with intent to kill while armed, unlawful possession of a firearm, and two counts of possession of a firearm during a crime of violence. Superior Court Judge Danya A. Dayson presided over both the trial and sentencing. The sentence includes ten years for assault with intent to kill while armed against another victim who survived.
Evidence presented by the government revealed that at approximately 3:17 a.m. on March 25, 2020, Johnson fired multiple shots into a white Kia Forte occupied by Robinson and another individual. Robinson was fatally struck in the head by one of the bullets, while the other occupant managed to escape without injury.
The case was investigated by the Metropolitan Police Department alongside the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia with contributions from former Assistant United States Attorney Gregory Kimak. It was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Gregory Evans and Anthony Cocuzza.
