WASHINGTON – Emerson Goldring, Jr., 32, of Washington, D.C., was sentenced today to 78 months in prison for a robbery and assault he committed with a firearm on July 21, 2023. Sutasha Miller, 34, of Washington, D.C. was sentenced to 18 months of incarceration for attempted robbery in connection to the same events; however, the 18 months were suspended on the condition that Miller complete one year of supervised probation. The sentence was announced by U.S. Attorney Matthew M. Graves and Chief Pamela Smith of the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD).
Goldring, Jr. pleaded guilty on June 14, 2024, to one count of robbery, one count of assault with a dangerous weapon, and one count of unlawful possession of a firearm. Miller pleaded guilty on the same date to one count of attempted robbery.
According to the government’s evidence, the victim was working as a Domino’s delivery driver when he parked in the 4800 block of North Capitol Street NE to deliver pizza to Miller. As the victim remained in the car, Miller and Goldring Jr. approached the victim’s car. Miller went to the driver’s side of the car, while Goldring Jr. went to the front passenger side. Goldring Jr. asked the victim to roll down the passenger side window, and Miller then reached inside to open the driver’s door. Goldring Jr. then pulled out a firearm, punched the victim, and hit the victim in the face with the butt of the firearm as Miller remained standing outside the driver’s side door. Goldring Jr. and Miller then took multiple pizza boxes and the pizza warmer bag from the victim. Goldring Jr. and Miller then went back together to Miller’s nearby apartment.
In announcing the sentence, U.S. Attorney Graves and Chief Smith commended the work of those who investigated the case from the Metropolitan Police Department. They also commended the work of Assistant U.S. Attorneys Matthew Goldstein, Randle Wilson, and Lauren “Luca” Winer who investigated and prosecuted the case.
