Triman O. Kimbrough, Carjacking and Using, Carrying, and Brandishing a Firearm during a Crime of Violence, Illinois 2022

A Chicago man has been charged with carjacking in connection with a violent crime that took place in the city.

According to a federal indictment, Triman O. Kimbrough, 20, allegedly brandished a semiautomatic handgun and stole a 2010 Mazda 6 from a victim in Chicago on May 2, 2022.

Kimbrough is charged with one count of carjacking and one count of using, carrying, and brandishing a firearm during a crime of violence. The carjacking count is punishable by up to 15 years in federal prison, while the firearm count carries a minimum prison sentence of seven years and a maximum of life, which must be served consecutively to the sentence imposed for the carjacking offense.

Kimbrough is currently in law enforcement custody and has not yet been arraigned in federal court in Chicago.

The investigation was conducted by the FBI-led Violent Crimes Task Force, which includes the Cook County Sheriff’s Office and Illinois State Police, and the Chicago Police Department.

“Our message to would-be carjackers is simple: Committing a senseless act of violence like carjacking will earn you a home in federal prison for a long time,” said John R. Lausch, Jr., United States Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois.

Kimbrough is expected to face a federal court in Chicago in connection with the charges.
