Federal sentences handed down for five Brevard County men who carried out a violent armed robbery in Ybor City, shooting a nightclub manager before fleeing with the proceeds.
According to evidence presented in court, the group planned the robbery together, traveled to Tampa in two vehicles, concealed their identities, and violently took control of the business. During the robbery, one of the men shot the manager in the face before fleeing with the club’s proceeds. Tampa's Violent Crime and Safe Streets Task Force worked this case.
