Armed Robbery of Westminster Gas Station Lands Man Behind Bars
A federal jury in Denver has convicted Dimas Alexander Munguia-Herrera for armed robbery of a Conoco gas station and for discharging a firearm during and in relation to that armed robbery, which is a crime of violence under federal law.
According to court documents and facts presented at trial, Munguia-Herrera committed the robbery of cash and other items just before he discharged a firearm at a Conoco gas station in Westminster, Colorado, on January 12, 2023.
Surveillance footage at trial showed a masked Munguia-Herrera pointing the gun before he discharged it into the wall barely missing the cashier. He left the Conoco gas station in a stolen white Bronco, which was later found with evidence inside that traced back to the Defendant.
Dimas Alexander Munguia-Herrera was convicted of armed robbery and discharging a firearm during and in relation to that armed robbery. He will face sentencing at a later date.
The Westminster Police Department, the Denver Police Department, and the FBI Safe Streets Task Force conducted the investigation. Assistant United States Attorneys Albert Buchman and Alison Connaughty handled the prosecution.
