GUILTY MD - Tonja Chadwick, 20, Baltimore, 28 Jan 2017 *Arrest*

[JusticeWillBeServed]

Baltimore man sentenced to 50 years in prison for killing girlfriend, 20-year-old Tonja Chadwick

Marco Holmes, 23, was convicted in May of second-degree murder; use of a firearm in a crime of violence; and wearing, carrying, or transporting a hand gun in Tonja Chadwick’s killing. The 50-year sentence Holmes received was the maximum penalty available.

“While nothing can bring this mother back to her young child, I pray this sentence brings some peace of mind to this family who has had to endure the unimaginable,” Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby said in a statement. “This defendant not only killed this young mother but deceived her family, and he will be locked away from society for a very long time, as he deserves.”
