A 24-year-old Milwaukee man has been found guilty of armed carjacking and brandishing a firearm during a crime of violence.
Broderick A. Moore, of Milwaukee, was convicted of motor vehicle robbery, also known as carjacking, and brandishing a firearm during a crime of violence.
The evidence presented at trial showed that on July 16, 2015, at about 10:20 a.m., Moore carjacked a 73-year-old woman across the street from Wick Field in Milwaukee.
The evidence established that Moore pointed a loaded gun at the victim’s head, threatened to shoot her, and demanded the keys to her Toyota Avalon.
Moore’s co-defendant, Robert Ellis, orchestrated the sale of the car immediately after the carjacking. Robert Ellis and co-defendant Sean Harvey then drove to the victim’s home and stole her Honda Accord.
Moore chose to testify in his own defense and claimed that although he was a drug dealer, he was not involved in the carjacking. The jury rejected Moore’s claim.
Moore faces a maximum of 15 years in prison for the motor vehicle robbery and an additional mandatory minimum sentence of seven years and up to life in prison for brandishing the firearm during the robbery.
Sentencing for Moore has been scheduled for November 30, 2017, before United States District Judge Pamela Pepper.
