WASHINGTON (DC News Now) -- A man will serve 10 years in prison after he stabbed a Safe Passage Ambassador multiple times near a high school in D.C. last year, said the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia (USADC). The USADC announced Friday, March 28, that 43-year-old Roy Stover was sentenced to 120 months in prison. In February 2025, Stover pleaded guilty to assault with intent to kill at the D.C. Superior Court. Government evidence revealed that on June 5, 2024, a worker for D.C. Safe Passage, a program that supports students' travel safety to and from school, was standing at his post on 45th and Meade Street NE near Ron Brown High School when Stover approached him.

That's when Stover took out a knife and swung it at the man's leg, causing him to fall. Once on the ground, Stover continued to stab the man six times in his chest, back and leg. After the incident, neighbors found the man and called 911. He was taken to the hospital, where he was treated for multiple stab wounds. Ring camera video from a home nearby captured the stabbing and identified Stover as the attacker. The attorney's office noted that Stover and the victim did not know each other. About a month later, Stover was arrested and has been in custody since then. On Friday, a judge also ordered Stover to serve three years of supervised probation upon his release. ...read more read less
