MIAMI GARDENS (CBSMiami) – Three men were sentenced to federal prison Wednesday for the robbery and fatal shooting of a Brinks guard at a local race track and casino, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports.
Vladimir Louissant, 26, of Miami Gardens, confessed to firing the shots that killed Alvaro Lopez Ramos, 26, while he was picking up cash at the business. Louissant was sentenced to life in prison for the crime, which occurred at the Calder Race Track and Casino in August 2011.
The robbery was planned by two insiders — then-Calder security workers Reginald Mitchell, 28, of Miami Gardens, and Uri Ammar, 28, of Hollywood, who was a security shift manager — prosecutors said. Both men are locked up pending their scheduled sentencings later this year.
