"'This was a senseless, premediated, and brutal act of gun violence that took the life of a security guard who was simply doing his job,' stated United States Attorney Nocella."
"Court records indicate that on Oct. 7, 2020, Powell and Castro entered an illegal gambling location while Coward waited outside, leading to a struggle and Maxwell's shooting."
"Federal prosecutors presented surveillance footage, cell-tower data, and a recorded confession to tie the three men to the deadly robbery."
Three men were sentenced for their roles in a 2020 robbery at an illegal gambling site in Brooklyn that resulted in the death of security guard Rodney Maxwell. Charles Powell received 42 years, Musah Coward 45 years, and Brian Castro had previously been sentenced to 45 years. The robbery involved a struggle that led to Maxwell's fatal shooting. Prosecutors used surveillance footage, cell-tower data, and a confession to link the defendants to the crime, which U.S. Attorney Joseph Nocella described as a senseless act of violence.
