DA: Fresno man gets 50 years to life for murder, attempted murder

FRESNO, Calif. ( KSEE/KGPE ) – A 26-year-old Fresno man was sentenced Wednesday to 50 years to life in prison for the murder and the attempted murder of two Fresno men, the Fresno County District Attorney said.

The DA says Tywain Demetrius Robinson was sentenced by Judge Gary Orozco of the Fresno County Superior Court after a Fresno County jury found Robinson guilty following a weeks-long trial that concluded on October 11, 2024.

According to the DA on May 7, 2021, Isaac Jackson and Terrell Williams drove to Robinson’s apartment to check on a family member.
