Man who coordinated series of 7 robberies of Chinatown Walgreens sentenced to over 10 years – WTOP News
The man prosecutors say planned and coordinated a series of seven inside-job robberies of the Walgreens in D.C.’s Chinatown was sentenced Tuesday to 10 years and six months in prison.
The man prosecutors say planned and coordinated a series of seven inside-job robberies of a Walgreens in D.C.’s Chinatown was sentenced Tuesday to 10 years and six months in prison.
Gianni Robinson, 28, of D.C., conspired with two store managers — one of them his uncle — and another man who posed as a masked gunman, 26-year-old Kamanye Williams, to carry out the string of robberies between July 2023 and February 2024.
All four pleaded guilty in early 2025 to charges related to their roles in the robberies, which culminated in a special police officer shooting Williams during the final job.
“After police posted surveillance footage of his co-conspirator robbing the Walgreens, Gianni Robinson sent the YouTube link to the gunman with a laughing emoji. He thought the crimes he conspired on were funny,” U.S. Attorney for D.C. Jeanine Pirro said in a release. “Now, after seven robberies, countless traumatized employees and one man shot in the chest, Robinson isn’t laughing anymore.”
Robinson, prosecutors said, served as the “operational hub” for the robberies, funneling information from the conspiring store managers to Williams so he could access the manager’s office where a safe was located.
According to prosecutors, Robinson also coordinated getaway arrangements and dividing the stolen money. In their plea agreements, prosecutors said the group of four admitted to stealing and splitting at least $28,983 from the string of robberies.
Robinson’s uncle, Michael Robinson, has been sentenced to 12 years in prison. Williams was sentenced to more than 16 years behind bars. The other store manager, London Teeter, is scheduled for sentencing April 23.

WASHINGTON – The House Oversight Committee on Wednesday is considering a proposal that would eliminate Washington, D.C.’s traffic camera program.
What we know:
Supporters call it an effort to curb what they describe as a revenue‑driven system, and opponents argue it would undermine road safety.
The markup is expected to be debated and likely advanced out of committee under the Republican majority.
The District operates more than 500 automated enforcement cameras, generating more than $267 million in revenue. Mayor Muriel Bowser says the program contributed to a 52% drop in traffic fatalities last year.
Rep. Scott Perry of Pennsylvania, who introduced the measure, has labeled the system a “revenue trap” and seeks to end both speed cameras and the city’s no‑right‑turn‑on‑red rule.
Federal transportation agencies consider speed cameras a proven safety tool, and nearly half of U.S. states allow some form of automated enforcement.
If approved by the committee, the bill would need to be scheduled for a House vote before heading to the Senate.

Disturbing video captured the sound and sight of rapid gunfire on East Capitol Street that rattled a neighborhood Saturday night.
About 90 shots were fired, police said. Investigators believe there were four shooters and four weapons, including a rifle.
Remarkably, no one was hit, but one of the bullets went through a wall and hit a child’s bed.
Video shows people walking in an alley before the rapid gunfire began. A car then sped out of the alley and headed for A Street SE.
The gunfire stopped for a few seconds, then started again.
When it ended, two more cars left the alley, video shows. One headed toward A Street, and the other toward East Capitol Street.
Three more shots were caught on video after the cars left.
In addition to lodging in a child’s bunkbed, bullets hit two cars. At a charter school adjacent to the alley, two windows were damaged by gunfire.
Police do not know who was targeting who.
In the house where a bullet struck a bed, the residents said they have lived there for 15 years but are looking to move as soon as possible.
