IOWA CITY - Two teenagers are charged in the July 25th robbery of a pizza delivery man.
Iowa City police say at 1:05am on July 25, they received a report of a robbery that had just occurred on Regal Lane. The victim, a 39-year-old Domino's Pizza delivery man, was making a delivery when he has rushed from behind by ten to fifteen people, assaulted, and his pizzas taken. The victim described the suspects as black males ranging in age from 10 to 25 years old.
An investigation uncovered the mostly juvenile members of a self-identified street gang, "Broadway Goons", used a cellular phone to place an order with Domino's Pizza.
The suspects were lying in wait for the delivery man and ambushed him when he exited his vehicle. The victim was struck in the head and the hot bag containing the pizzas was taken. The suspects fled through the neighborhood.
Lamar Cheyenne Wilson, 15, and Osean Donteale Horton, 14, are both charged with 2nd degree robbery and criminal gang participation.
Both juveniles were taken into custody on August 20 and transported to the Linn County Juvenile Detention Center.
The police investigation continues. Charges on additional suspects are pending.
