            WASHINGTON – Deangelo Glover, 33, and Ronnie Wallace, 52, both of Washington, D.C., were sentenced for the January 2021 shooting and murder of Tyrone Wright, announced U.S. Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro and Chief Pamela Smith of the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD).

            Superior Court Judge Jason Park sentenced Glover to 21 years in prison and Wallace to 45 years in prison, with five years of supervised release. The sentencings occurred on May 2, 2025.

            A jury found both men guilty on February 10, 2025. Wallace was found guilty  of one count of first-degree murder while armed and possession of a firearm during a crime of violence for Wright’s murder, plus one count of assault with intent to kill while armed for shooting a second victim, one count of unlawful possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and one count of carrying a pistol without a license. Glover was found guilty of one count of second-degree murder, possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, one count of unlawful possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and one count of carrying a pistol without a license.

            According to the government’s evidence, on January 19, 2021, in a parking lot in front of 3804 Hayes Street NE within the Mayfair Mansions Apartment complex Wallace shot the decedent, Tyrone Wright on belief that Mr. Wright was one of the persons responsible for the murder of his brother, Marcus. In the process, a bystander was shot a single time in the leg.
