The two members of the "Wellington Park Crew," as they've been called by prosecutors, are the first to be sentenced in the case.
In the early evening of July 16, 2018, masked gunmen jumped out of an Infiniti sedan and opened fire on a group of people inside the courtyard of an apartment complex on Clay Terrace in Northeast D.C. The gunmen fired more than 50 shots before driving away.
10-year-old Makiyah, who was sitting on a front porch, died, and four others were wounded.
Makiyah was the youngest of four siblings. She had recently finished fourth grade and celebrated her 10th birthday.
Prosecutors said the defendants bragged about the shooting in music videos.
Cobbs and Murchison, along with the other four men, were convicted in June.
The murder charge carries a sentence of 30 years to life.
