Speaking at a press conference Tuesday afternoon, NYPD Chief of Detectives James Essig said Oliver is a "well-known" gang member to law enforcement with a long rap sheet.
Oliver and four other individuals were allegedly involved in an armed robbery the afternoon of Nov. 21, 2022. The suspects attacked a male and stole around $4,450 in U.S. currency, Essig said. Police identified Oliver in the Nov. 21 robbery on Dec. 3, 2022.
