Two individuals have been sentenced to prison for their involvement in a robbery that led to the death of a Wilmington man.

Charles Lowe, 47, of Felton, and Sierra Steiner, 30, of Newark, received their sentences on April 17, 2026. Lowe, who was convicted of Murder Second Degree, Robbery First Degree, Conspiracy First Degree, and Possession of a Firearm During the Commission of a Felony, was sentenced to 35 years in prison. Steiner, who was convicted of Murder Second Degree, Conspiracy Second Degree, and Robbery First Degree, was sentenced to 21 years in prison.

“The crimes committed by the defendants were part of a larger pattern of cruel, calculated acts,” said Attorney General Kathy Jennings. “I want to express my thanks to our DOJ trial team, the Delaware State Police, and our law enforcement partners in Maryland for their successful efforts to prevent these two from harming anyone else.”

On March 19, 2023, the victim and Steiner drove to Dolphin Drive in Glasgow with Steiner intending to help Lowe rob him. When the two were parked, Lowe approached with a firearm; the victim attempted to flee before being fatally shot by Lowe. Following a weekslong investigation, Lowe and Steiner were discovered in a vehicle by the Cecil County Sheriff’s Office and Harford County SWAT in Elkton, Maryland on April 8, 2023. The pair tried to escape before crashing their vehicle and being arrested.
