Richmond, VA – According to the statement, the 30-year-old defendant, later identified as Jamique Mays, reportedly conspired with a former 44-year-old girlfriend, Jaclyn Inge, and 37-year-old friend, Desmond Littlejohn, to rob Inge’s employer, a federal firearms licensee.
On October 9, 2017, the three co-conspirators drove to Inge’s employer’s business in Virginia Beach. They waited until Inge’s employer and another co-worker arrived. Mays and Littlejohn approached the two victims and brandished firearms.
They demanded a black bag they knew would contain a large sum of money the business earned during a weekend gun show held in Philadelphia. Once they obtained the bag, they ran back to the vehicle where Inge was waiting.
As they fled the scene, Mays threw items out of the car window, including a black ski mask. Littlejohn’s DNA was found on the mask. Mays later confessed to committing a robbery to a friend while on Facebook Messenger.
Mays faces a mandatory minimum sentence of seven years and a maximum sentence of life in prison when sentenced on April 19, 2024. Actual sentences for federal crimes are typically less than the maximum penalties. A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after taking into account the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.
Littlejohn was previously convicted of the same charges in February 2019 and was sentenced to 189 months in prison. Inge pled guilty to illegally purchasing and possessing the firearm used by Mays in the robbery and was sentenced to 78 months in October 2020.
