Tallahassee Brothers Who Drove To Tampa To Commit Robberies Indicted

Tampa, Florida – United States Attorney Roger B. Handberg announces the  unsealing of an indictment charging Alonzo Deanthony Tucker-Wyche (27, Tallahassee) and De’quan Davion Wyche (24, Riverview) with conspiracy to commit Hobbs Act robbery, robbery, and use of a firearm during the commission of the robberies. If convicted on all counts, each faces a minimum penalty of 20 years, up to life, in federal prison. 

According to court documents, on October 27, 2024, at approximately 5:30 a.m., a silver vehicle entered the parking lot of a convenience store in Tampa. Tucker-Wyche exited the vehicle and entered the store while his brother, Wyche, remained in the car. Tucker-Wyche approached the counter, produced an AR-15 firearm from his pants, and pointed it at the clerk. The clerk immediately fled out the back door. Tucker-Wyche chased the clerk momentarily but was unable to catch him. After returning to the front of the store, Tucker-Wyche walked behind the counter and removed the cash register drawer from its wires, and fled to the waiting vehicle, which Wyche was driving.
