Two Milwaukee Residents Indicted for Armed Carjackings

United States Attorney Matthew D. Krueger announced today that Brittney Neal (Age: 24) and Cedric L.

Vienna Avenue in which a firearm was brandished. 

With respect to September incident, each defendant faces up to 15 years in prison for the carjacking and a minimum mandatory consecutive sentence of 10 years to life in prison on the firearm count.  With respect to the October incident, Neal faces up to 15 years in prison on the carjacking count and a minimum mandatory seven years to life in prison for brandishing the firearm.  If Neal were convicted of both discharging a firearm during the September carjacking and brandishing a firearm during the October carjacking, she would face a mandatory minimum sentence of 35 years in prison. 

Glosson remains a fugitive.  If you have any information regarding his whereabouts, please contact the United States Marshals Service Tip Line at 414-297-3707. 

In response to the indictment, United States Attorney Krueger stated, “Carjackings must stop. The United States Attorney’s Office, in collaboration with the federal and local law enforcement agencies, is committed to aggressively prosecuting violent crimes within our community.” 

This case is being investigated and prosecuted under the Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) initiative.  PSN is a federal, state, and local law enforcement collaboration to identify, investigate, and prosecute individuals responsible for violent crimes in our neighborhoods. The PSN strategy brings together all levels of law enforcement and community resources to reduce violent crime and improve the quality of life in all our neighborhoods.  This matter is being investigated by the FBI’s Milwaukee Area Violent Crimes Task Force and the Milwaukee Police Department.  It is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Margaret B. Honrath.

The public is cautioned that an indictment is merely a charge and the defendants are presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
