According to the court record, including the stipulated factual proffer, on March 8, 2019, Terence Wendell Daniely II, 34, robbed the valet attendant at the Ocean Five Hotel on South Beach using a 9mm caliber pistol.  Daniely’s possession of this pistol was illegal, as he had previously been convicted of numerous felony offenses, narcotics distribution, carrying a firearm in connection with narcotics distribution, and unlawful possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.  Following the armed robbery of the Ocean Five Hotel, a Miami Beach Police Department officer spotted Daniely fleeing in a white Dodge Challenger.  As this officer approached, Daniely discharged his pistol from within his moving vehicle in the direction of the officer, shattering the windshield of Daniely’s vehicle.  Daniely then instigated a high-sped car chase, recklessly driving and leading officers across the MacArthur Causeway and into the City of Miami.  Daniely crashed his car near Overtown and fled foot.  A perimeter was established and, several hours later, the Defendant was ultimately located hiding in a shed in the backyard of a private residence.

Sentencing is scheduled for October 22, 2019, at 10:30 a.m., before U.S. District Judge Donald M. Middlebrooks.  Daniely faces up to life imprisonment and a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years imprisonment at sentencing.

U.S. Attorney Fajardo Orshan commended the investigative efforts of the FBI, ATF, and Miami Beach Police Department in this matter.  The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael B. Homer.
