Imalay Lopez, 19, of Miami Gardens, Miami-Dade County, Florida, United States is accused of committing armed robbery almost two years ago along with three other accomplices. The other three suspects are Jevon Jackson, 22, Kasandra Soutullo, 21, and Je’Darius L’Shawn McFatten, 20.
Before turning 18, Lopez allegedly met a man on a social media application. The name of the man was not revealed.
Lopez and the man arranged a meetup at Motel 6 on Northwest 36th Street in Miami, Miami-Dade County on August 21, 2021. She had been staying at the hotel with Jackson, Soutullo and McFatten.
That day, the man picked up Lopez, who was joined by Soutullo. The three drove behind the motel, got out of the vehicle and went to an area near the bank of an adjacent canal.
At one point, the man got thirsty and went back to his vehicle to grab a beverage. He was quickly blindsided by Jackson and McFatten, who repeatedly yelled they had a gun.
After punching and kicking the man, Jackson and McFatten demanded the man give them his phone, wallet and car keys. Jackson and McFatten followed the man as he stumbled towards the parking lot, followed him, assaulted him and took his wallet from his pants.
On September 16, 2021, Soutullo and Jackson were arrested. She pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault, earning her probation, while he pleaded guilty to robbery, earning him a trip to boot camp and four years of probation.
On June 27, 2023, Lopez was arrested and charged with armed robbery. She was booked into the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center in Miami where she is being held without bond.
