Tykei Hallman, Armed Robbery, Massachusetts 2024

Armed Robbery Rocks Quincy Convenience Store

A Boston man, dubbed the ‘Inconvenient Crook,’ was arrested this morning and charged in connection with the armed robbery of a Quincy convenience store.

Tykei Hallman, 25, of Hyde Park, was charged in a criminal complaint unsealed today with one count of robbery involving use of a firearm.

According to the charging document, between May 2019 and November 2019, approximately 15 convenience-type stores were robbed in the Greater Boston area by a masked and armed individual.

The suspect entered the convenience stores brandishing what appeared to be a black and silver semi-automatic handgun and demanded the stores’ cash.

Hallman was identified as the robbery subject through physical surveillance, GPS data from cell phones and motor vehicle records.

The charging statute for a Hobbs Act robbery provides for a sentence of up to 20 years in prison, three years of supervised release and a fine of $250,000.

Using and carrying a firearm during the commission of a crime of violence provides for a sentence of up to seven years in prison, to be served consecutive to the sentence imposed for robbery.

Hallman will make an initial appearance in federal court in Boston at 2:15 p.m.

The details contained in the charging document are allegations. The defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
