D.C. Superior Court Judge J. Michael Ryan sentenced Rakeem Willis, 31, after a jury in November found him guilty of first-degree murder in the slayings of Sean Shuler, 26; Javon Abney, 26; and Tyrik Hagood, 24.Prosecutors argued at trial that at around 10 p.m. on Jan. 26, 2019, Willis lured the three men down the 1500 block of Fort Davis Place SE, where gunmen shot them multiple times. Authorities said two of the men were found in a vehicle and the third was found yards away.

Authorities tied Willis to the murders via a stolen Lexus sedan that was later found on fire just across the Maryland state line off I-295.
