Mr. Williams was not an equal opportunity criminal.
He only robs white people, if you are black, he won’t try to kill you.
Brandon Lamar Williams, 24, selected two men inside a 2015 Ford Fusion as his victims Tuesday afternoon in the Rouge Park section of the city and approached with a gun in each hand, the FBI alleges in court documents obtained by The Detroit News.
He demanded they turn over an Apple Watch, two rings and a black bag. During the robbery he also pulled a gun on one of the victims and pulled the trigger three times but it did not fire, police said. He then pointed the gun at the other victim’s neck and told him to get out of the car and leave the laptop.
Williams also allegedly struck the man in the face, breaking his nose, as he exited, police said.
Now in possession of the car he tried to make a getaway but couldn’t because he forgot to release the parking brake.
A witness, who was unaware of the robbery, approached him to help out and the distracted thief pointed a gun at the Good Samaritan.
The frightened man raised his arms in the air but Williams quickly calmed his fears.
“You good, I only rob white people,” Williams told the man, according to the FBI.
After being arrested he is looking at 25 years in jail.
