Overview
- Federal and local agents arrested Tracy Daryl Mingo on Jan. 2 while he appeared to be putting on a security‑guard disguise, ending an alleged months‑long series of armed robberies.
- A grand jury returned a 20‑count federal indictment on July 28, and Mingo was arraigned in U.S. District Court on Thursday, Aug. 6.
- Prosecutors say he robbed ten Circle K, Subway and Family Dollar locations across College Park, Decatur, East Point, Fairburn, Marietta and Union City between Oct. 20, 2025 and Jan. 1, 2026, typically targeting employees late at night.
- The indictment charges Hobbs Act robbery and attempted robbery, brandishing a firearm during a crime of violence, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, offenses that federal prosecutors say carry a mandatory minimum of 63 years if convicted.
- Officials credited coordinated work by FBI Atlanta, the U.S. Attorney’s Office, the U.S. Marshals Service and local police for the arrest and said the case may lead to increased law‑enforcement presence to protect late‑night workers as pretrial proceedings continue.
