Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office

Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner, DAO's Gun Violence Task Force, announced charges on Monday against defendants Carlos Bristow, Nyere Gredic, and Hasan Robinson for a series of license plate thefts and gun point robberies that occurred between late 2025 and early 2026 in Center City and North Philadelphia. We spoke to lead prosecutor on this case, ADA Manny Colon with the DAO's Gun Violence Task Force, to break down the detailed investigation.

Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner has a message regarding the Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court opinion in Pa. v. Lavar Brown. “Criminal justice reform is a national social justice movement. And like all social justice movements, it follows a certain pattern. First they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they fight you. And we’ve been fighting for 8 and a half years with a lot of wins.”
