A Montgomery County Circuit Court jury convicted Jorden Hungerford, 20, on all four counts following a ten-day trial in Rockville, Maryland, concluding on May 18, 2026 [1]. The charges, first-degree murder, armed robbery, conspiracy to commit armed robbery, and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, arose from the April 2025 killing of Henry Krishawn Gilbert in Gaithersburg [1]. Prosecutors alleged that Hungerford impersonated a female acquaintance on social media to arrange what Gilbert believed was a marijuana transaction, then shot him at close range [1].
The jury returned guilty verdicts on all counts after the ten-day proceeding [1]. The prosecution's theory centered on the use of a fabricated social media identity to lure the victim into a location where Hungerford was waiting [1]. No acquittals or hung counts were reported [1].
Sentencing has not yet been scheduled, according to available reporting [1]. A conviction for first-degree murder in Maryland carries a mandatory sentence of life imprisonment, with the court retaining discretion over the possibility of parole. The firearm conviction adds a mandatory consecutive term under Maryland law.
No post-trial motions or appeal filings had been reported as of the date of available coverage [1].
