Dogbe Sentenced to Death in Phoenix
Humphry Dixon Dogbe was sentenced to death Tuesday for the May 8, 2020 murder of a woman at a Phoenix fueling station near Interstate 10 and 27th Avenue. A September jury convicted him. He also received 48 years on the other counts, to run at the same time.

Tuesday's death sentence is the judgment on a murder conviction. The 48-year term on the other counts runs at the same time, and it does not add years on top of death. A death sentence is not an execution date. She is dead, and the sentence does not bring her back.
Humphry Dixon Dogbe was sentenced to death Tuesday for the May 8, 2020 murder of a woman at a commercial fueling station near Interstate 10 and 27th Avenue in Phoenix.
Phoenix police were called there around 4:30 a.m. and found her dead. Surveillance video captured the attack. A witness who tried to stop it later picked Dogbe out of a photo lineup. He was a registered sex offender who lived nearby, and he admitted the attack to police, the Maricopa County Attorney's Office said.
A jury in September convicted him of first-degree murder, kidnapping and sexual assault. In October he was sentenced to 48 years on the counts other than murder. That term runs at the same time as the death sentence.
