PHILADELPHIA, PA — A Philadelphia man was sentenced Tuesday to 11 years in federal prison for his role in a series of armed robberies and attempted robberies targeting Brinks armored trucks across the Philadelphia region in 2025, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania said.
Mujahid Davis, 24, received an 11-year prison sentence, five years of supervised release, and was ordered to pay $134,000 in restitution. U.S. District Judge Gail A. Weilheimer imposed the sentence.
Davis pleaded guilty in March to two counts of Hobbs Act robbery, two counts of attempted Hobbs Act robbery, and one count of carrying, using, and brandishing a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence. He had been charged in a superseding indictment filed in January.
According to court filings, Davis admitted participating with others in four robberies or attempted robberies involving Brinks armored trucks between July and October 2025. The incidents included a July 2 robbery in Philadelphia, a July 15 attempted robbery in Philadelphia, an Aug. 12 robbery in Elkins Park, and an Oct. 3 attempted robbery in Philadelphia.
Federal prosecutors said Davis admitted stealing a total of $122,225 from Brinks Inc.
The case also involves co-defendant Dante Shackleford, 27, of Philadelphia, who pleaded guilty in April to three counts of attempted Hobbs Act robbery, one count of Hobbs Act robbery, and one count of carrying, using, and brandishing a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence. His sentencing is scheduled for later this month.
The FBI Philadelphia Violent Crimes Task Force and the Philadelphia Police Department investigated the case. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Robert Eckert and Kwambina Coker prosecuted the matter.
