Odenton Man Sentenced To Life Plus 20 Years In Prison For Murder Of Local Boxer

An Odenton man will serve the rest of his life in prison for the 2024 killing of amateur boxer Isaiah Olugbemi, a parent and decorated athlete whose death stunned his community.

On Tuesday, August 26, 2025, Anne Arundel County Circuit Court Judge Richard Trunnell sentenced Nicholas Francis Giroux, 37, to life plus 20 years in prison for first-degree murder and using a handgun in a violent felony. The sentences will be served consecutively in the Division of Corrections. Giroux pleaded guilty to both charges on February 28.

Olugbemi, 27, was a Junior Olympics gold medalist, three-time Golden Gloves state champion, and two-time Open Regional champion, and was regarded as a rising star in the sport.

“Mr. Olugbemi was a father and rising star in amateur boxing. This was a cruel and senseless murder that took the life of someone with great promise,” State’s Attorney Anne Colt Leitess said in a statement. “The callousness and lack of remorse on the part of this Defendant is really disturbing. He deserves this sentence. And to the family and friends of Mr. Olugbemi, I hope that today provides some sense of justice for this terrible ordeal.”

On June 17, 2024, at approximately 9:44 p.m., police were dispatched to the 500 block of Meadowmist Way in Odenton for a reported gunshot. Officers discovered Olugbemi suffering from several gunshot wounds. He was sent to the R. Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore, where he subsequently died. The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner declared the death a homicide by shooting.

Surveillance footage collected from the incident showed Giroux approaching Olugbemi with a revolver, firing until he collapsed, then returning to shoot three more times before fleeing to his neighboring townhouse and departing in a van. Detectives found nine-millimeter cartridge casings.

According to police documents, sixteen days before the death, Giroux confronted Olugbemi and a neighbor during a backyard cookout, showing a weapon but not aiming it. Officers did not make any arrests.

Investigators later identified Giroux using surveillance footage, witness testimony, and police records. During an interview, he confessed to the murder and directed investigators to the nine-millimeter handgun used in the crime.

Carolynn Grammas, an assistant state’s attorney, prosecuted the case. The Anne Arundel County Police Department’s homicide investigators lead the investigation.

A fundraising in Olugbemi’s memory has gathered over $53,000 to help his family and little son. Donations can be given via the EverLoved memorial page.
