Texas Man Gets 3 Years for Mississippi Pawnshop Robbery

A Killeen, Texas man was sentenced to 39 months in prison for his role in stealing firearms from a Clarksdale, Mississippi pawnshop in 2019.

Oxford, Miss. – Dominic Deshawn Turner’s sentence marks the conclusion of a two-year long investigation and prosecution of the robbery of Krosstown Trade & Pawn in Clarksdale, Mississippi.

The robbery occurred on February 20, 2019, when five individuals stole 25 firearms and more than $49,000 worth of jewelry at gunpoint. The owner of the pawnshop was physically assaulted during the robbery.

As a result of a combined investigation by ATF Agents and local law enforcement agencies in Texas and Mississippi, the suspects were positively identified and a conspiracy to traffic firearms from Mississippi to Texas was uncovered.

Turner’s co-defendants, Corey Alonzo Brown, Raheim Trayvon Avery, and Corey Kintrell Lewis, were previously sentenced to prison for their roles in the robbery. Brown was sentenced to 24 months in prison, Avery to 40 months, and Lewis to 87 months.

“Effective collaboration and coordination between ATF Agents and local law enforcement officers across multiple states was critical to the success of this investigation and prosecution,” said Acting U.S. Attorney Clay Joyner. “Not only were they able to bring justice to the victim of this crime, but they were able to recover many of the firearms stolen, preventing future violent crimes.”

The investigation was a collaborative effort between ATF Agents and local law enforcement agencies in Texas and Mississippi, including the Killeen, TX Police Department, Clarksdale, MS Police Department, and Grenada, MS Police Department.
