Texas Trio to Serve More Than 22 Years in Federal Prison Collectively Following Attempted Armed Robbery of Brink's Technician

OKLAHOMA CITY – RAYMOND ISHUN EDWARDS, 33; MARCUS ELEBY-KING, 33; and HAROLD ELEBY-KING, 35, of Texas, have been sentenced to serve cumulatively 273 months in federal prison for attempted armed bank robbery, announced U.S. Attorney Robert J. Troester.

According to public records, on September 30, 2024, an armed Brink’s technician was working on an ATM in Midwest City when he was approached by two masked men. One of the men, later identified as Harold Eleby-King, pointed a firearm at the victim’s head while the other masked man, later identified as Edwards, unsuccessfully attempted to access the ATM. The men then took the victim’s firearm after a physical struggle before they fled in a car driven by Marcus Eleby-King. The three were arrested the following day in Wichita, Kansas.

On December 3, 2024, a federal Grand Jury charged Edwards, Harold Eleby-King, and Marcus Eleby-King with attempted armed bank robbery. The three defendants have since pleaded guilty and admitted they knowingly attempted to take money controlled by a bank by force, violence, and intimidation.

At a sentencing hearing on March 5, 2026, Chief U.S. District Judge Timothy D. DeGiusti sentenced Edwards to serve 92 months in federal prison, followed by three years of supervised release. Harold Eleby-King and Marcus Eleby-King were previously sentenced, with Harold receiving 97 months and Marcus receiving 84 months in federal prison, followed by three years of supervised release for both.

This case is the result of an investigation by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Midwest City Police Department, and the Wichita Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorney David Nichols, Jr. prosecuted the case.
