2 Woonsocket Teenagers To Be Tried As Adults In Murder Case

WOONSOCKET, RI — Two Woonsocket teenagers accused of killing a 17-year-old girl will face murder charges as adults, said Attorney General Peter F. Neronha in a news release Thursday.

Craig Robinson and Quinton St. Pierre, both age 19, are facing one count of murder each and multiple gun and assault charges.

Prosecutors say Robinson and St. Pierre were involved in the murder of NyAsia Williams-Thomas, who was found slumped over the steering wheel of a car on December 4, 2019. She was rushed to Landmark Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead.

Although the defendants were juveniles at the time of the crime, Rhode Island Family Court waived jurisdiction over them and they will be arraigned as adults on March 24 in Providence County Superior Court.
