Timothy Rawlings Had Fellow Bloods Gang Member Killed. Now He’ll Spend the Rest Of His Life In Prison

Timothy Rawlings, the 24-year-old who two years ago had a fellow Bloods gang member Steven Parrish stabbed to death for being gay, was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole by a Maryland judge following May’s first-degree murder conviction.
