A man from Montgomery was convicted on federal robbery and gun charges related to a series of robberies that took place in 2025.
According to a statement from U.S. Attorney Kevin Davidson and Special Agent in Charge Sara J. Jones of the FBI Mobile, Alabama Field Office, Rayshon Frances Demonta Hall, 24, was involved in the crimes with his 21-year-old co-defendant Najari Denarka Mitchell.
“Armed robberies place innocent employees and customers in danger and create fear throughout the community,” said Davidson. “This verdict demonstrates that those who choose to terrorize businesses with violence and firearms will be held accountable in federal court.”
Court records reportedly state that the first began on Aug. 1 at a fast-food restaurant on Troy Highway.
The next day an auto parts store on Fairview Avenue was targeted, followed by a gas station on Troy Highway on Aug. 4.
Hall was found guilty of three counts of robbery and three counts of brandishing a firearm during and in relation to a federal crime of violence.
As part of his plea deal he faces 300 months in prison. He will be sentenced on Aug. 26.
“FBI Mobile is focused on protecting our neighborhoods from violent crime and the fear it creates,” said Jones. “We will continue working with our law enforcement partners to identify, investigate, and hold accountable those who threaten public safety.”
