Glen Burnie Teen, Baltimore City Woman Gets Sentenced in Connection with 2022 Shooting Death of Teen Found in Anne Arundel County

The Office of the Maryland Attorney General has announced the recent sentencing of two people in connection with the 2022 murder of 17-year-old Anthony “Ant” Tyrell Johnson (pictured on the left), of Glen Burnie, as well as other crimes across the state. 

On June 1, 2022, at approximately 4:00 a.m., officers responded to reports of shots fired on Warwickshire Lane in Glen Burnie, where Anthony Johnson was discovered with multiple gunshot wounds and pronounced deceased at the scene.

Jordan Moses (top right photo), an 18-year-old Glen Burnie resident, and Takala Robinson (bottom right photo), a 22-year-old woman from Baltimore, have been sentenced for Anthony Johnson's murder and for armed robberies committed across Baltimore, Anne Arundel, and Worcester Counties, including Ocean City. 

On December 5, 2024, Robinson pleaded guilty to participating in a criminal organization resulting in death, conspiracy to commit the murder of Anthony Johnson, and armed robbery, receiving a 25-year sentence on January 10, 2025. 

On January 10, 2025, Moses pleaded guilty to participating in a criminal organization resulting in death, the first-degree murder of Anthony Johnson, and armed robbery. Following a contested sentencing hearing on May 28, 2025, Moses, who authorities say was 16 at the time the crimes were committed, received a life sentence, with all but 45 years of incarceration suspended.

In a press release, Attorney General Anthony Brown stated that the charged conduct included a violent campaign that began with three shootings in a 17-hour period. The group reportedly went on to murder Anthony Johnson before traveling to Ocean City, Maryland, in June 2022, where they committed several armed robberies. 

The investigation revealed that Moses and Robinson were responsible for Anthony Johnson's fatal shooting. A few weeks after the murder, they traveled to Ocean City and committed three armed robberies within several days. Moses and Robinson were arrested the following day in Baltimore County.  A handgun recovered from Moses was consistent with the weapon used in the organization’s other crimes, and Moses was found with property taken from the Ocean City robbery victims.

According to an online memorial, Anthony loved motorcycles, bikes, and playing video games. The memorial said he enjoyed fishing, basketball, and liked to make people laugh.  

 Attorney General Anthony Brown commented, "This shocking and senseless string of serious crimes traumatized victims and claimed a young man’s life, sobering reminders of the devastating damage caused by violent criminal organizations armed with illegal guns. The defendants have been sentenced for charges stemming from a long-term investigation into a violent criminal organization operating in and around Baltimore County, Anne Arundel County, and Worcester County, Maryland, as well as the District of Columbia."
