Bloomingdale resident who shot a Pepco utility worker in the back of the head on 12/03/2009 on the 1900 block of 1st Street NW (and served time & was out on probation) committed a subsequent crime (with another man) -- an armed robbery not in Bloomingdale on 10/24/2017; he was arrested and sentenced on 01/09/2019 to forty years

Who recalls the Pepco utility worker who was shot in the back of the head near 1st and Rhode Island Avenue NW back on 12-03-2009?

Here is an update on the man who did this shooting.

The info below is presented in chronological order for you.

1)  See this Bloomingdale Neighborhood blog post from 05/22/2010 regarding the sentencing of a man who shot a Pepco utility work in the back of the head at/near 1^st and Rhode Island Avenue NW in Bloomingdale on 12/03/2009.  This man who did the shooting was Marlo Johnson, who lived on U Street NW.  

Guilty plea in shooting of Pepco worker

2)  Now see this 01/11/2019 Washington Post article with an update on Marlo Johnson.  He and another man committed an armed robbery (not in Bloomingdale) on 10/24/2017.  He was arrested and subsequently plead guilty to 15 counts.  He was sentenced on 01/09/2019 to “decades in prison.”

I have included the sentences from this WaPo article that reference the shooting in Bloomingdale by Marlo Johnson.
