President Donald Trump pardoned two former Washington police officers who were convicted in the 2020 murder of 20-year-old Karon Hylton-Brown, the White House said on Jan. 22.

Terence Sutton Jr. was sentenced to 66 months in prison, while Andrew Zabavsky was sentenced to 48 months in September 2024, over “an unauthorized police pursuit that ended in a collision on Oct. 23, 2020, that caused the death of Karon Hylton-Brown, 20, in Northwest Washington D.C.,” the Department of Justice (DOJ) said last year.
