A 23-year-old trans woman who murdered her roommate and stuffed his body into a kitchen cupboard for several days has been sentenced to 25 years in prison.
Victoria Greyson, 23, pleaded guilty to a single count of murder on Tuesday in exchange for the sentence from Judge Ursula Walowski. Greyson must serve the entire sentence by law.
Police went to the home of Johnnie Evans, 40, in the 7400 block of South Yates on May 30, 2024, after his family members reported him missing. Greyson, who listed Evans’ address as her home in police records, answered the door.
According to CPD’s report, Greyson gave police permission to walk through the home to determine if Evans was there. As the cops entered the kitchen, they discovered a black garbage bag “that resembled a body like shape with a foul aroma emitting from the bag in the kitchen pantry,” according to the report.
Asked what was inside the bag, Greyson allegedly replied that she “just did some spring cleaning” and the bag contained “an old rug.”
In fact, police soon learned, the bag contained Evans’ body.
Prosecutors said Greyson admitted to tasing and pepper spraying Evans as he slept. She proceeded to kill him by striking him in the head and body with a hammer and a lamp, officials said.
In the days after the murder, Greyson hired someone to remove items from the apartment, telling them the property belonged to someone who was “not coming back.”
Officials said Greyson planned the murder by purchasing weapons and cleaning supplies before carrying out the crime.
Prosecutors dropped two additional felonies, including concealment of a homicidal death, in their deal with Greyson.
