Guy Johnson, a 57-year-old resident of Washington, D.C., has been found guilty by a Superior Court jury on five charges related to a March 2020 homicide in Southeast D.C. The announcement was made by U.S. Attorney Edward R. Martin, Jr. and Chief Pamela Smith of the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD).
The trial, presided over by Superior Court Judge Danya A. Dayson, concluded with Johnson being convicted of 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.
Evidence presented by the government revealed that on March 25, 2020, at approximately 3:17 a.m., Johnson fired multiple shots into a white Kia Forte occupied by Kriston Robinson, aged 28, and another individual who survived the incident. One bullet fatally struck Robinson in the head. The surviving victim managed to escape without injury.
The investigation was conducted by the Metropolitan Police Department and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia, with contributions from former Assistant United States Attorney Gregory Kimak.
Assistant United States Attorneys Gregory Evans and Anthony Cocuzza are responsible for prosecuting this case.
