During the trial for murder plot mastermind 20-year-old Jermaine Jackson in May, prosecutors made the case that Powell and Gist were directly the men behind the murder of DeGennaro, which began as an attempt to rob DeGennaro for a drug debt inside his Crabtree Drive home in Bristol Township.
Danasia Bakr, 19, and Tatyana Henderson, 19, both of the Morrisville section of Falls Township, testified in spring that one “loud gunshot” and then another was heard. Henderson said that the three young men then ran to the waiting car and were “shaken up” and “acting crazy.” Powell was yelling how he shot “the guy” and Gist said, “I shot him too,” according to statements made by Henderson.
Powell and Jackson will serve life in prison. Bakr and Henderson received lighter sentences for their roles.
