Orlando, Florida – A federal jury has found Catrell Ivory
(27, Orlando) guilty of two robberies, an attempted robbery, and two counts of
brandishing a firearm during a robbery, in connection with a series of armed
Walmart robberies he committed in Orlando. Ivory faces a maximum penalty of
life in federal prison. His sentencing hearing is scheduled for April 24, 2019.
According to evidence presented at trial, shortly after
midnight on June 2, 2017, Ivory and his accomplices robbed the Walmart Neighborhood
Market located at 5559 Clarcona Ocoee Road in Orlando. The store managers were
held at gunpoint and more than $74,000 was stolen from the vault inside the
cash office. On July 31, 2017, at approximately 3:00 a.m., Ivory and his
accomplices robbed another Walmart Market located at 2715 S. Orange Avenue in

the cash office. On August 10, 2017, Ivory and his accomplices attempted to rob
a third Walmart Market located at 8801 Conroy Windermere Road in Orlando, but
they were unable to get into the cash office.
During each incident, Ivory and his accomplices carried and
brandished firearms and wore masks and gloves to conceal their identities.
This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of
Investigation, the Orange County Sheriff’s Office, the Osceola County Sheriff’s
Office, and the Orlando Police Department. It is being prosecuted by Assistant
