“Both defendants are also charged with various counts of assault, attempted robbery, robbery and criminal possession of a weapon. The indictment is now unsealed. We expect the defendants will be arraigned shortly, likely during the week of August 18th. We allege that the shooting of this off duty officer was part of a violent robbery spree that the defendants planned via text messages in advance. As we allege, at approximately 11:45pm On July 19, they rode a motorbike into Fort Washington park and robbed a woman of her cell phone.” (01:22–01:33)
