The Sacramento County District Attorney's Office announced that 28-year-old Richard Miller was convicted by jury of carjacking, robbery, assault with a firearm, theft of a firearm, and being a felon in unlawful possession of a firearm. The jury also found true the personal use of a firearm allegation.

In December 2008, the victim had just gotten off work as an armored car transport employee when he drove to his girlfriend’s Elk Grove apartment. After parking his car in the apartment complex parking lot, he was approached by Miller and two of his friends. The two friends distracted the victim while Miller jumped into the victim’s car.

When the victim realized what was happening, Miller grabbed the victim’s duty handgun that was sitting on the passenger seat and the two men struggled for possession of the gun. The struggle spilled into nearby bushes, where Miller and his
friends kicked the victim repeatedly in the head and back.

They then took the victim’s wallet and drove off with his car, leaving the victim injured in the bushes. After parking the victim’s car nearby in the complex, Miller and his friends fled in an SUV.

The men led officers on a high speed chase, which ended with the SUV crashing into a tree in front of a residence. The victim’s wallet and gun were located at the crash scene.

Sentencing is set for May 17, 2012 at 1:30 p.m. in Department 63 of the Sacramento Superior Court.
