A young man from Jacksonville faces serious legal consequences after allegedly embarking on a series of armed robberies that targeted local convenience stores and restaurants, all within an astonishingly short period of time.

Jaheim Muhammad, aged 21, has been charged following a crime spree that reportedly saw him brandishing a weapon to demand money from cashiers at five different establishments in less than a week. The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office revealed details of the incidents, which have unsettled the local community.

The series of robberies came to a head when law enforcement responded to a call at a Whataburger on San Jose Boulevard on January 17. According to the arrest report, a cashier recounted how a man dressed in black, with a surgical mask and crocs, threatened him with a gun while demanding cash.

The crime wave did not end there. Just a day later, a similar incident unfolded at a Domino’s on Cassat Avenue. In this case, police investigations uncovered a critical lead: the suspect had fled the scene using a Lyft. This detail, along with surveillance footage, guided officers to Muhammad’s apartment complex, where he was subsequently apprehended.

The next day, detectives investigated another similar robbery at a Domino’s on Cassat Avenue. This time, however, investigators determined that the suspect fled the scene in a Lyft ride, according to the report. With that information and accompanying surveillance video, officers went to the ride’s destination, Muhammad’s apartment complex, where they arrested him.

The string of robberies is believed to have begun on Jan. 13 at a Dollar General on Old Kings Road South. Investigators also connected him to one the following day at the Mobil gas station on Old St. Augustine Road.

In more than one of the incidents, witnesses described the suspect as having a distinct limp. During his arrest, police said Muhammad admitted he was recently shot in the leg.

Muhammad was booked into the Duval County jail on Jan. 18 and faces five charges of armed robbery and a charge of resisting officers, among others. His bond is set at more than $905,000.
