Washington DC resident Maunyae Worsley, 18, has been found guilty of armed robbery and other charges after a jury returned a verdict on August 8, 2024.
According to prosecutors, on April 9, 2024, at approximately 3:47 a.m., Worsley went to the Exxon gas station in the Brookland neighborhood and pulled out a tan semiautomatic pistol, grabbing the lone attendant and forcing him into the employees-only section.
The attendant was forced to hand over approximately $5,000 from the cash register and a file cabinet before Worsley fled the scene. The next day, Metropolitan Police Department officers were executing an unrelated search warrant at Worsley’s home when they recovered a tan Glock 19X semiautomatic pistol from his bedroom.
Officers also recovered a jacket, sweatpants, and shoes from Worsley’s bedroom that matched the clothing he wore during the robbery. Subsequent investigation found that Worsley was wearing a GPS monitor, and his GPS records placed him at the scene of the robbery.
Maunyae Worsley was arrested during the execution of the search warrant on April 10, 2024, and he has been in custody since. The Honorable Jason Park scheduled sentencing for October 18, 2024.
U.S. Attorney Matthew M. Graves and Chief Pamela Smith commended the work of those who investigated the case from the Metropolitan Police Department, as well as Assistant U.S. Attorneys Ella Gladman and Will Lawrence, who prosecuted the case.
The guilty verdict marks a significant victory for law enforcement and the community in the fight against armed robbery and violent crime.
