The driver accused of bringing hitman Jermaine Washington Jr. to the scene of a 2018 Fourth of July fatal shooting — and said he was paid $2,000 for his services — has been sentenced to 22 years behind bars for his role in the crime.

Karrington Henry was sentenced Wednesday to 22 years in prison with credit for the time he has served since his July 11, 2018, arrest.

During Washington’s trial last week, Henry testified that Washington told victim Dorian Colston he needed his help to commit a robbery. The pair agreed to meet on U.S. 90 outside of the Iowa, La., city limits. Henry said he borrowed his sister’s car and drove Washington to meet Colston.

“Dorian pulled up behind my car, Jermaine got out and got in the car with Dorian,” Henry told jurors. “They pulled off and went the other way on 90 so I kept driving toward my cousin’s house. A few minutes later, Jermaine called for me to pull back up.”

Henry said when Colston returned, Washington shot him multiple times then got back in the passenger seat of Henry’s car.

“He killed Dorian right then,” Henry said. “I saw the flames from the gun and Jermaine getting out of the car. Dorian’s car hit me from the back so I pulled up some and then Dorian’s car went into the ditch.”

Louisiana State Police Trooper Carlos Spina testified that Colston, 21, was discovered unresponsive, laying in the driver’s side seat of a vehicle parked against a tree in a ditch on U.S. 90 near Jones Road.

Calcasieu Coroner Dr. Terry Welke testified Colston was shot in the chest, shoulder, hip, bicep, elbow and arm from someone standing outside of the passenger side of the vehicle.

Henry said when Washington got back into his car, he drove the pair to Opelousas Street and Washington found a storm drain to drop the gun in.

Later, Henry said Josiah Jackson — accused of ordering the hit on Colston — phoned Washington and told him his payment could be found in the gas tank of Jackson’s truck.

“Jermaine got out, got about $2-$3 grand from the gas tank and gave me $2 grand and said he was gonna have to get the rest of the money,” Henry said.

When prosecutor Charles Robinson asked Henry during the trial why he was compensated, Henry said it was to pay for the damage Colston’s car had made to his sister’s vehicle.

Henry, who was initially charged with first-degree murder, accepted a plea agreement in exchange for his testimony. He pleaded guilty to obstruction and had been facing up to 40 years behind bars.
