Demonte Alif Jackson sentenced for 2019 robbery at Houston home of Bun B, Queenie
HOUSTON - A man was sentenced Friday for a robbery at the home of Houston rapper Bun B and his wife Queenie in 2019.
Demonte Alif Jackson was sentenced to 40 years in prison after a hearing, during which Bun B himself testified.
Court records show Jackson pleaded guilty to one count of aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon and burglary with intent to commit other felony in December 2019.
Jackson was charged in the incident that occurred in April 2019.
Queenie told police she heard the doorbell ring and answered it, expecting it to be a package delivery. Instead, police say a masked suspect, Jackson, forced his way into the home, demanding money and valuables.
