From the State’s Attorney:

AZMI S. IBRAHIM SENTENCED TO 13 YEARS IN THE ILLINOIS DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS FOR THE OFFENSE OF ARMED ROBBERY

The McHenry County States Attorney’s office announces that on December 5, 2024, Azmi S. Ibrahim, 21, of Waukegan, was sentenced to 13 years in the Illinois Department of Corrections for the offense of Armed Robbery.

Ibrahim’s sentence was part of a negotiated plea of guilty entered before the Honorable Judge Mark R. Gerhardt.

On July 23, 2023, the victim went to the Village Market in Wonder Lake to meet with Ibrahim, having previously met and communicated through Snapchat.

The victim intended to purchase cannabis from Ibrahim.

When Ibrahim arrived at the Village Market, the victim entered Ibrahim’s vehicle, and upon entering the vehicle, the victim observed Ibrahim sitting in the driver’s seat, pointing a black semiautomatic pistol at him.

Another male sitting next to the victim pointed a blue revolver at him, while a third, younger male sat in the passenger seat in front of the victim.

While at gunpoint, Ibrahim and the others demanded money from the victim and under threat of force, he reluctantly handed over $500 in cash.

Once in possession of his money, the victim was told to leave the car, and he immediately called the police.

Responding officers from the McHenry City Police Department located Ibrahim’s vehicle and executed a traffic stop. Ibrahim was taken into custody and positively identified in a show-up by the victim.

All the victim’s money was recovered from either within Ibrahim’s vehicle or on the person of the two other occupants.

McHenry County State’s Attorney Randi Freese thanks the McHenry City Police Department and the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office for their collaborative efforts and thorough investigation in this case.

A special thanks to Assistant State’s Attorney Maria Marek for her work in the prosecution of this case.
