Summary
Two Texas men, Raymond Christian Garcia and Isiah Angelo Garcia, were sentenced to 15 years and 15.5 years, respectively, for their roles in that September 2025 armed robbery, according to a statement released by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Minnesota. This comes after both brothers pleaded guilty to one count of interference with commerce by robbery back in June. Later, the victim's son called 911, and the brothers fled, but were later tracked down by a Wendy's receipt, video surveillance of Raymond Garcia renting a motel room in Roseville, Minnesota, and a rental car, which led police to the brothers' house in Waller, Texas.
