Both were charged with aggravated robbery in Denver and then released on state bond. Between December 23, 2024, and January 12, 2025, while on state bond, Javae McClain committed an additional ten armed convenience store robberies across the Denver Metro area, and was taken into custody on January 12, 2025. After Javae McClain was taken into custody, Javaris McClain, who was also still on state bond, continued the robbery spree by robbing an additional nine Denver area convenience stores with a gun.
