Teen convicted of 2024 murder of Sonic manager sentenced to 40 years in prison

Adiah Roberson, 19, was sentenced to 40 years in prison for murder and 20 years for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Both sentences will run concurrently.

SAN ANTONIO — A teen convicted of killing a fast-food manager in July 2024 will be spending the next 40 years in prison.

19-year-old Adiah Roberson, 17 at the time, was arrested at an apartment complex in October 2024 in connection to the killing of Daniel Shrewsbury.

San Antonio police accused her of pulling the trigger the night Shrewsbury was killed while working at the Sonic near Babcock and Huebner. In September of 2024, Roberson was placed on Texas’ list of Top 10 Most Wanted Fugitives.

On Friday, almost two years after the murder, Roberson was sentenced to 40 years in prison for murder and 20 years for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Both sentences will run concurrently.

Joshua Albert Joseph, whom police said was the getaway driver, was arrested in San Antonio in August 2024. His murder charges have since been dropped.
