Armed Robbery Rocks Miami Beach: Former Employee Sentenced to 10 Years
A shocking case of armed robbery has come to a close in Miami Beach, Florida. Jemm Urcil Prospere, a 29-year-old former employee of Dylan's Candy Bar, has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for his role in the heinous crime.
On February 11, 2019, Prospere entered the Dylan's Candy Bar location on Lincoln Road, wearing a black mask, a black hooded sweatshirt, and blue latex gloves. He then commandeered the store's manager, pointing a firearm at them and demanding they empty the safe and place all the money into a book bag.
After emptying the safe, the store manager attempted to disarm Prospere, leading to a struggle. Prospere discharged one round from his firearm, but the store manager ultimately overpowered him and pushed him down the stairs. Prospere escaped with the book bag full of stolen cash.
Prospere, who is a North Bay Village resident, was sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge Federico A. Moreno (Case No. 19-20276-CR-MORENO) to 10 years in prison. The court record details the events of that fateful day.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael B. Homer, who commended the investigative efforts of the FBI and Miami Beach Police Department in this matter.
