Santana Gilmore, Dijohn Curtis, and Amajha Curtis were in court Friday, where they changed their pleas to guilty of armed robbery.
All three will face a sentence of 16 years with no probation. Their sentencing date was set for October.
Ahmad Seals was also in court but did not take a plea deal. His trial was set for Oct. 27.
A fourth suspect, Raymond Rochon,19, pleaded guilty in March 2024.
WDSU has reached out to the district attorney’s office for a statement regarding the plea change. At the time of this publication, a response had not been received.
