Justin Andrew Wilson, 27, of Germantown, stabbed 63-year-old Egidio Ienzi 13 times with a fixed-blade knife inside of his Germantown home on July 23, 2020, the Montgomery County State's Attorney's Office said.
Ienzi's daughter witnessed part of the attack before running upstairs to hide and call 911. Wilson was arrested in the days following the attack after Ienzi's son helped lead police to Wilson.
“The victim in this case was described by friends and neighbors as an honest, hard-working man, a decent person who worked hard his entire life and was targeted inside his own home," said State’s Attorney John McCarthy.
"It was every homeowner’s worst nightmare. We are gratified that the jury saw through the defense and appropriately convicted Justin Wilson,”
Wilson faces a maximum of life in prison and is scheduled for a sentencing hearing at 1:30 p.m., Sept. 22.
