Two Orlando residents, Nijah Jahni Mitchell, aged 22, and Dany Telfort, aged 20, have been indicted on serious charges stemming from a series of armed robberies that took place across Central Florida. The indictment, which marks the beginning of formal legal proceedings, accuses Mitchell and Telfort of multiple counts relating to Hobbs Act robbery and of brandishing firearms during these allegedly violent events, as reported by the U.S. Attorney's Office.

During ten days from March 23 to April 1, 2023, the two men are said to have targeted six convenience stores, an accusation that if proven could result in severe penalties, with Mitchell facing at least 28 years to a life sentence in federal prison and Telfort a minimum of 14 years up to life, the indictment further specifies to the forfeiture of a Glock 9mm firearm, Taurus 9mm firearm, and associated ammunition purportedly used in the offenses.

While the indictment brings allegations, it's important to remember that in the eyes of the law, both Mitchell and Telfort are presumed innocent until proven guilty in court. The rigorous prosecution of this case is in the hands of Assistant United States Attorney Megan Testerman, following an extensive investigation effort by multiple law enforcement agencies including the FBI and police departments from Orlando, Orange County, Clermont, Ocoee, the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office, and Oakland, as part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN).
