Man sentenced for murder of Maryland father, dumping body in woods
ROCKVILLE, Md. – One of the men convicted of murdering a Maryland father in 2024 and dumping his body in the woods was sentenced on Friday to 30 years in prison plus a suspended life sentence.
The victim’s family says the sentence doesn’t go far enough.
Murder sentence
What we know:
DeAngelo McRoy was sentenced on Friday for the murder of Delondre Sawyer.
The sentencing guideline in this case was life plus 30 years, but Judge Sharon Burrell decided to suspend the life sentence. McRoy will be eligible for parole in about 15 years.
Victim’s family ‘disappointed’ in sentence
What they’re saying:
Sawyer’s family say they were disappointed in Friday’s sentence. FOX 5’s Bob Barnard spoke with the victim’s sister after the hearing, but said she was too upset to speak on camera.
Montgomery County prosecutor John McCarthy said “there’s a great disappointment here,” that McRoy did not receive the maximum sentence, saying that Sawyer had many family members in court Friday who gave emotional victim impact statements.
“I think they are extremely disappointed with the sentence that was given today, as we are,” McCarthy said.
3 charged with murder of man found dead in woods in Gaithersburg
Maryland father found murdered, dumped in woods
The backstory:
McRoy is one of just three people charged with Sawyer’s murder. Police say Sawyer met McRoy, along with Quinnton Eric Brown and Alicia Carson-Brown at an apartment in Germantown on Feb. 8, 2024.
Sawyer was driving his mom’s car when he was shot, and police said the group robbed him and dumped his body in the woods off Game Preserve Road in Gaithersburg.
Police said the suspects were caught on surveillance cameras at a Sheetz in Germantown near the dump site, trying to use Sawyer’s stolen credit cards.
Brown was convicted of pulling the trigger last month. He will be sentenced in October. He faces a maximum sentence of life plus 135 years. Carson-Brown recently received a shorter sentence after cooperating with police.
