On Sept. 9, DC Superior Court Judge Marisa Demeo sentenced a homicide defendant to 32 years in prison for felony murder of a senior citizen and attempted robbery of a senior citizen.
On March 29, 2020, 81-year-old Bobby Poole Jr. was knocked down by 52-year-old Tyrone Williams and an accomplice in an attempted robbery on the 900 block Eastern Avenue, NE. During the incident, Poole hit his head on a metal fence, which caused serious injuries.
Poole was rushed a local hospital. He was released from the hospital on April 2, 2020, but returned days later due to complications from his brain injury. Poole died on May 6, 2020.
Along with the 32-year sentence, Williams will also have to serve eight years of supervised release.
