The getaway driver was Jeffrey Lassey, 17, who was sentenced in 2000 to 10-12 years in state prison. This would have him out of prison in the 2010-2012 timeframe.
Other participants were Isaac Lugudde, 18; Andrew Dwamena, 19; and Richard Salmon, 18.
Further research found that Rodriguez, Lassey, and Dwamena had used a gun to take money from a Texaco in Worcester only three days before this incident.
