JERSEY CITY – A Hudson County jury on Oct. 19 found Robert M. Warren, 23, of Clendenny Avenue in Jersey City, guilty of carjacking, armed burglary, aggravated assault, unlawful possession of a handgun, and other charges
Hudson County Prosecutor Esther Suarez said the charges relate to a crime committed on June 2, 2014 when Warren and an accomplice entered an apartment on Cottage Avenue in North Bergen and held several guests at gunpoint in a botched robbery attempt.
At some point, both men ordered a man out of a Mercedes Benz parked nearby. When the driver did not comply, they fired into the vehicle.
His accomplice, Gregory Eady, was sentenced earlier this year to 75 years in prison for admitting his role in these offenses, as well as using the same gun to shoot and kill two separate victims just one week later on June 9, 2014 in Jersey City.
Warren now faces a maximum exposure of 70 years in prison when he is sentenced on Dec. 11.
