Philadelphia Men Charged by Superseding Indictment With Robberies Targeting Armored Trucks

PHILADELPHIA – United States Attorney David Metcalf announced that Dante Shackleford, 26, and Mujahid Davis, 24, both of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, were charged by superseding indictment in connection with multiple robberies and attempted robberies last year that targeted armored trucks.

Both defendants have been charged with four counts of robbery interfering with interstate commerce (Hobbs Act robbery). Davis is also charged with two counts, and Shackleford with one count, of using, carrying, and brandishing a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence.

The superseding indictment alleges that they participated in the following crimes:

• the July 2, 2025, robbery of a Brinks truck in Philadelphia
  (Davis and others)
• the July 15, 2025, attempted robbery of a Brinks truck in Philadelphia
  (Shackleford, Davis, and others)
• the July 22, 2025, attempted robbery of a Brinks truck in Elkins Park, Pa. 
  (Shackleford and others)
• the August 12, 2025, robbery of a Brinks truck in Elkins Park, Pa.
  (Shackleford, Davis, and others)
• the October 3, 2025, attempted robbery of a Brinks truck in Philadelphia
  (Shackleford, Davis, and others)

If convicted, the defendants face maximum possible sentences of life imprisonment. Davis also faces a fine of $1,500,000 and Shackleford a fine of $1,250,000.

This case is part of Operation Take Back America, a nationwide initiative that marshals the full resources of the Department of Justice to repel the invasion of illegal immigration, achieve the total elimination of cartels and transnational criminal organizations (TCOs), and protect our communities from the perpetrators of violent crime.

The investigation is being conducted jointly by the FBI Philadelphia Violent Crimes Task Force and the Philadelphia Police Department and is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Robert Eckert and Kwambina Coker.

The charges and allegations contained in the superseding indictment are merely accusations. Every defendant is presumed to be innocent unless and until proven guilty in court.
