Tyree Mansell, Home Invasion Robbery, Pennsylvania 2015

PHILADELPHIA – In a shocking display of violence, three men have been charged with a home invasion robbery in Broomall, Pennsylvania. Tyree Mansell, 40, of Philadelphia, PA, Sterling Wallace, 27, and Jamain Wallace, 26, of Philadelphia and Yeadon, PA, are facing serious charges after allegedly breaking into a home and attacking the occupants.

According to the indictment, on June 15, 2015, Mansell and Sterling Wallace rang the doorbell of a home in the 2600 block of Old Cedar Grove Road in Broomall. When a young child answered the door, they pointed their firearms at the child and forced their way into the home. Sterling Wallace then struck the child in the face and head with his gun, causing a severe laceration and bleeding.

Mansell confronted another person on the second floor of the home, pointing his firearm at them and forcing them into a bedroom. Sterling Wallace then forced the child to the second floor at gunpoint. Jamain Wallace joined the other two defendants, took Sterling Wallace’s gun, and stood guard over the victims as his co-defendants searched the home for cash and other items to steal.

The defendants allegedly took money and jewelry from a safe in the home. If convicted of all charges, each defendant faces a mandatory minimum sentence of seven years in prison, a maximum sentence of life, up to five years of supervised release, a possible fine, and a $300 special assessment.

The case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Salvatore L. Astolfi. An indictment is an accusation, and a defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty.

Tyree Mansell, Sterling Wallace, and Jamain Wallace are currently facing serious charges. The community is shocked by the alleged violence and brazen nature of the crime. The case serves as a reminder of the importance of community vigilance and the need for law enforcement to take action against those who would seek to harm innocent people.

The indictment charges the defendants with conspiracy to commit Hobbs Act robbery, Hobbs Act robbery, attempted Hobbs Act robbery, and carrying a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence. The defendants’ actions have left a family shaken and a community reeling. As the case moves forward, it is clear that justice must be served.
