Newark, NJ man gets prison for armed carjacking of Uber driver
NEWARK — It’s six and a half years in prison for a Newark man who admitted to his role in the armed carjacking of an Uber driver nearly two years ago.
25-year-old Raquin Tanner, was sentenced in Newark federal court on Monday, after previously pleading guilty to aiding and abetting the carjacking, Acting U.S. Attorney Rachael Honig announced.
A woman was sitting in her parked car on Summer Avenue in Newark one night in August 2019, federal prosecutors said, when Tanner and two other men approached as seen on video surveillance.
The woman was held at gunpoint as she was thrown to the ground and had her vehicle stolen.
One of the other men, 21-year-old Rakeem McNair, of Roselle, also previously pleaded guilty to carjacking and brandishing a firearm and has been scheduled to be sentenced in November.
On Monday, a judge also gave Tanner three years of supervised release, once his sentence is finished.
