Three Men Sentenced for Armed Robbery and Carjacking Spree

Tywan McGee, 24, of Miami, was sentenced yesterday by U.S. District Judge Kathleen M. Williams to 15 years’ imprisonment for his role in an armed robbery and carjacking conspiracy.  His co-defendants, Alan Agnew, 22, and Jamal McMillan, 19, both of Miami, were recently sentenced to 25 years’ and 9 years’ imprisonment for their roles in the conspiracy.

Wifredo A. Ferrer, United States Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, Carlos A. Canino, Special Agent in Charge, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), Miami Field Division, and J.D. Patterson, Director, Miami-Dade Police Department (MDPD), made the announcement.

Agnew previously pled guilty to two armed robberies, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1951(a); three carjackings, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 2119(1); and the use of a firearm during a crime of violence, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 924(c).  McGee previously pled guilty to two armed robberies and one carjacking, as well as the use of a firearm during a crime of violence.  McMillan previously pled guilty to one armed robbery, one attempted carjacking, and the use of a firearm during a crime of violence.

According to court documents, between August 10, 2014 and September 7, 2014, one or more of the defendants participated in six different armed robberies and carjackings, all of which occurred in the Little River area of Miami.  The victims included taxi cab drivers, a fast food delivery driver, and individuals whom the defendants contacted over Facebook. 

Mr. Ferrer commended the investigative efforts of ATF and MDPD for their work on this case.  The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Olivia S. Choe and Benjamin Widlanski.
