28-Year Sentence for Carjacking Murder | Washington DC News

A 28-year-old man, DeAngelo McRoy, received a 30-year prison term plus a suspended life sentence for his role in the armed carjacking and murder of 35-year-old Lonnie Sawyer in February 2024. Sawyer was shot inside his own car before his body was dumped in the woods — a crime that shocked the community and left the victim’s family devastated by the sentence. Two other suspects are also charged; one, Quinnton Eric Brown, is awaiting sentencing and faces a possible life term after being convicted of pulling the trigger. Prosecutors and Sawyer’s grieving family both called for a steeper punishment, emphasizing the brutality and emotional toll of the crime. Surveillance footage even captured suspects using Sawyer’s stolen credit cards — a chilling detail that underscores the calculated nature of this violent act.
