The 22-year-old saw the writing on the wall and admitted his guilt in the middle of a jury trial earlier this year in connection to his role in a shooting in a well-known Silver Spring alleyway following a wild chase in June 2022, according to the Montgomery County State’s Attorney’s Office.
He was sentenced to 70 years in prison with all but 30 to serve, followed by five years of supervised probation when he is released.
Prosecutors said that in the early morning hours of June 15, 2022, a man left a birthday celebration at a bar on Georgia Avenue and walked a friend to her vehicle, but when he went to return to his own vehicle across the street, a car pulled up and two men jumped out, dressed all in black, wearing ski masks and gloves, and holding handguns.
According to court documents, the men started chasing the victim and he ran for his life. He ran into an alleyway called Mayor Lane as the men and car continued to chase him.
They opened fire and hit the victim in the back.
Video then shows the car reversing out of the alley onto Silver Spring Avenue and making a left onto Fenton Street.
