A man convicted in a retrial for killing two people in Maryland in 2018 was sentenced to two consecutive life terms without the possibility of parole, plus 30 years in prison.

Gregory Jones was sentenced Friday, Nov. 6, in Montgomery County Circuit Court. Jones was found guilty in the deaths of Ashley Dickinson and Joshua Frazier, who were both shot to death inside an SUV on Aldora Circle in Burtonsville in February 2018.

Jones was first convicted in 2021 and sentenced to two life terms without parole, plus 30 years. However, that conviction was overturned on appeal, and prosecutors retried the case.

A jury then found Jones guilty in December 2025 of two counts of first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit first-degree murder and two counts of using a firearm in the commission of a felony.

The judge has ordered that his sentence will run consecutively to any other sentence Jones is serving.

Jones was previously sentenced to 30 years in prison in 2022 for a separate home invasion and robbery case.
