The teen who shot Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. on Aug. 28, 2022, has been sentenced in a court of law.
The 15-year-old received the maximum sentence for a minor, and he will be in custody until he turns 21.
Prosecutors had earlier asked that the teenage suspect be committed to a youth rehabilitation facility.
Robinson was shot on Aug. 28 after being threatened by two young males in what appeared to be a carjacking attempt.
Robinson’s Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat was parked in the 1000 block of H Street Northeast when the two young males attempted to rob Robinson of his car at 5:28 p.m. The two suspects ran from the scene, and officers recovered a firearm nearby.
Two arrests had been made in November of 17 and 15-year-old males. In January, the 15-year-old plead guilty to shooting Robinson. He also plead guilty to the October fatal shooting of 15-year-old Andre Robertson.
Brian Robinson is back with the Commanders at their team facility 🙏
