Convicted Felon Receives 210-Year Federal Sentence for String of Armed Business Robberies

A Memphis man has been sentenced to 210 years in federal prison after being convicted of eight business robberies and one attempted business robbery that occurred in the summer of 2022. Kevin G. Ritz, United States Attorney for the Western District of Tennessee, announced the sentence today.

According to the information presented in court, on March 7, 2022, Marchello Moore, 43, escaped from a halfway house and set off on a series of armed robberies of local businesses. After a six-day federal jury trial in February 2024, Moore was convicted of eight counts of robbery, one count of attempted robbery, and eight counts of use of a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence. Moore had previously pled guilty to escaping from federal custody from the halfway house where he had been serving a prior federal sentence for business and bank robberies committed in 2014.

On July 17, 2024, United States District Court Judge Jon P. McCalla sentenced Moore to 210 years of imprisonment, which included a mandatory minimum of 200 years because of the nature of the convictions and Moore’s criminal history. There is no parole in the federal system.

This investigation was conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) Safe Streets Task Force, a collective comprised of federal, state, and local law enforcement personnel.

United States Attorney Kevin G. Ritz thanked Assistant United States Attorneys Elizabeth Rogers and Eileen Kuo, who prosecuted this case, as well as the law enforcement partners who investigated this case.
