Man sentenced for death of accomplice during armored car robbery www.privateofficer.com

Chicago IL April 21 2013 A man convicted of murder after his co-offender was killed during a 2011 attempted robbery of an armored car was sentenced to 40 years in prison today, the state's attorney's office said.
Robert Carey, 52, of Chicago was sentenced by Cook County Judge Matthew Coghlan, the office said in a release.
On Jan. 28, 2011 Carey and his accomplice Jimmy Townsend tried to rob an armored car guard outside a Dollar Store near Chicago and Homan Avenues on the West Side, authorities said.
Although Carey had a .22 caliber handgun and Townsend had a sawed-off shotgun, the guard shot and killed Townsend while Carey was shot and wounded by the guard's partner during a struggle for a money bag, prosecutors said.
A jury previously had convicted Carey of first-degree murder because Townsend was killed during the robbery attempt.
