U.S. Attorney's Office, District of Nevada

LAS VEGAS - A federal jury yesterday convicted a Las Vegas man for committing two armed robberies, brandishing a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence, and for unlawful possession of a firearm after felony convictions.

According to court documents and evidence presented at trial, on April 18, 2025, Soloman Tremain White entered a store and brandished a Sig Sauer P365 9mm semiautomatic pistol. He stole money and fled the store. The next day, on April 19, 2025, White entered a sandwich shop and brandished a 9mm semiautomatic pistol. He fled the store with stolen money.

White has prior felony convictions, including attempted grand larceny and voluntary manslaughter, both in Clark County, Nevada. He is prohibited from possessing a firearm because of his prior felony convictions.

Following a two-day trial, White was found guilty of two counts of interference with commerce by robbery; two counts of brandishing a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence; and three counts of prohibited person in possession of a firearm. The jury deliberated approximately one hour before returning their verdict.

"This conviction is a testament to our office's commitment to eliminating violent gun crime from our neighborhoods," said First Assistant United States Attorney Sigal Chattah for the District of Nevada. "Working hand-in-hand with our federal and local law enforcement partners, we will continue to use every tool at our disposal to aggressively prosecute offenders who use firearms to terrorize local businesses and workers."

"Law-abiding citizens should never have to experience the terror of having a firearm pointed at them," said Special Agent in Charge Christopher S. Delzotto for the FBI Las Vegas Field Office. "These armed robberies were bold and brazen, and we are fortunate they ended without injury before the suspect fled. We have said it numerous times, but it merits repeating: Nevadans deserve to feel safe in their own neighborhoods. Together with our partners, the FBI remains fully committed to removing violent criminals from our communities."

"ATF is committed to ensuring that firearms remain out of the hands of prohibited people," said Assistant Special Agent in Charge Alex Buenaventura, San Francisco Field Division, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, & Explosives (ATF). "The suspect in this case is a repeat offender and prohibited from carrying a firearm. ATF takes our pledge to this community seriously. The conduct of the suspect in this case endangered the safety of members of this community and will not be tolerated. ATF will continue to work alongside our partners to ensure the safety of the Las Vegas community."

White is scheduled to be sentenced on January 11, 2027, by United States District Judge Cristina D. Silva. He faces a maximum statutory penalty of life imprisonment and a mandatory minimum sentence of 14 years confinement. A federal district judge will determine sentences after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.

The FBI, ATF, and Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department investigated the case. This case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys in the District of Nevada.
