On 4/17/2025 a jury found Mr. Von Simmonds guilty of Second-Degree Murder for the death of Abubukar Sharrif in BTV on 12/4/2022.
Today, the State asked the Court to sentence him to 30 years to life. The Court instead sentenced him to 20 years to life, split to serve 17.5 years.

In 2022, VT experienced unprecedented violence, including 26 gunfire incidents in BTV and a record number of homicides statewide. This violence increased the sense of fear and instability in our communities, especially in Burlington… 1/
