Troy Allen Lucas, Murder-For-Hire, Maryland 2008
A Baltimore man has been sentenced to two life sentences and 10 years in prison for murdering a witness in exchange for money and drugs.
Troy Allen Lucas, 49, was sentenced to two life sentences and a consecutive 10-year sentence in prison for the murder-for-hire of Robert Long.
Long was a cooperating witness in several cases pending in 2007 and 2008 in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City.
The sentence was announced by the Acting United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Stephen M. Schenning; Assistant Special Agent in Charge Don A. Hibbert of the Drug Enforcement Administration, Baltimore District Office; Colonel Woodrow Jones, Chief of the Maryland Transportation Authority Police; and Colonel William M. Pallozzi, Superintendent of the Maryland State Police.
According to evidence presented at the two-week trial, Lucas was a member of 'Dead Man Inc.' (DMI), a criminal street and prison gang.
Lucas symbolized his allegiance to DMI while in prison in 2007 by having a large tattoo of a hangman's noose around his neck and on his chest.
