During the crime spree, two victims were shot and killed during a carjacking and robbery, and prosecutors said that “the conspirators would often use the stolen vehicles to commit additional criminal acts and they shared the proceeds of their exploits” which were then pawned.
Banks admitted that on June 12, 2019, he was involved in a carjacking where his victim was shot and killed, and he said that he intended to cause death or serious bodily harm in that instance.
He also participated in five armed robberies and an attempted robbery committed from July 7, 2019 to Aug. 12, 2019.
