PHOENIX (AZFamily) — Three people are facing multiple charges after allegedly robbing someone at gunpoint following a crash on a major Phoenix freeway in January.
Just after 2:10 a.m. on Monday, Jan. 19, the Department of Public Safety responded to a two-car crash on eastbound Interstate 10 near State Route 51 in Phoenix.
When troopers arrived, they learned one of the cars involved left the scene and that several of its occupants allegedly held others at gunpoint and stole items from their car.
Troopers then turned over the case to DPS’ Major Crimes District for further investigation.
As the case continued, detectives identified Jeremiah E. Davis and Robert T. Gilbert, both 18, of Phoenix, along with a teen girl, as suspects in the armed robbery.

On Feb. 17, investigators learned Davis was already in custody at the Maricopa County jail on unrelated charges. DPS said additional armed robbery charges were recommended against him.
The following day, detectives located and arrested Gilbert for his alleged involvement. Then on Tuesday, a 17-year-old girl was also taken into custody on armed robbery charges.
“These arrests underscore the AZDPS Major Crimes District’s commitment to thorough investigative work and to ensuring that those responsible for violent crimes are held accountable,” DPS said in a written statement.
