It is also alleged that on the same day, while being armed with a firearm, Lawrence robbed Randolph of a Samsung Galaxy cellphone valued $60,000 and two gold chains valued $150,000.

He is also accused of robbing Navendra Khanan of two gold chains valued $200,000 and $40,000 cash on the same and in the same location.
