密歇根州五人绑架勒索走红亲属案认罪：枪口劫持人质、纵火烧车，四人最高面临终身监禁
美国司法部密歇根东区联邦检察官办公室11月4日宣布，密歇根州五人团伙绑架勒索一案已有结果：Roland Chatmon（37岁，Detroit）、Leica Lopez Martinez（33岁，Lake Orion）、Ieasha Stroman（38岁，Pontiac）与Dneiqua Stroman（43岁，Pontiac）已对绑架共谋与联邦枪支罪名认罪；Kenneth Anderson（54岁，Pontiac）此前已对洗钱罪认罪。联邦检察官Jerome F. Gorgon Jr.与烟酒枪炮及爆炸物管理局（ATF）底特律分局负责人James Deir共同宣布了这一进展。
据法庭文件与被告在认罪听证会上的供述，这起共谋始于2025年8月。Chatmon的叔父此前因在社交媒体上帮助有需要的人而走红，一名社交媒体网红为其筹款，送给他超过10万美元、一辆新车和其他礼物，事件被广泛报道。2025年8月24日，Chatmon与在押的兄弟通电话时谈起这位叔父，两人在被录音的监狱通话中商定抢走这笔钱，并笑谈此事，随后拉入多名同伙。
2025年9月1日，团伙动手：一名同伙佯装需要搭车引诱受害人上车，受害人驾车途中，Chatmon用手机遥控指挥。车辆停下后，Chatmon与同伙持枪劫车，将受害人捆绑，扣在其自己的卡车里当人质，开车四处逼其从银行账户取钱，其间多次用手枪抽打和殴打受害人。取出现金后，团伙仍不满足，受害人提出家中保险箱里还有现金；团伙开车到其住所，受害人仍被绑在车内，Chatmon与Dneiqua Stroman闯入屋内盗走保险箱，还把Chatmon的婶婶捆绑后留在浴缸里。随后团伙把受害人丢在卡车旁的地上，点火烧车后逃离，之后与Anderson会合，由他协助把受害人Cash App账户里的钱转入团伙账户。
ATF与联邦检察官办公室主导调查。2025年9月25日，ATF在Detroit、Rochester Hills与Pontiac执行五处住所的搜查令，将全部嫌疑人抓获。
认罪后，Chatmon、Lopez Martinez、Ieasha Stroman与Dneiqua Stroman四人各面临联邦监狱强制最低刑7年、最高可至终身监禁；Anderson此前已被判缓刑并责令赔偿。四人的量刑日期分别为：Lopez Martinez 2027年2月3日、Dneiqua Stroman 2月9日、Chatmon 2月25日、Ieasha Stroman 3月15日。本案由助理联邦检察官Andrew R. Picek与Diane N. Princ起诉。（来源：美国司法部）
Five Plead Guilty in Michigan Kidnapping Plot Targeting Viral Good Samaritan's Relative
The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Michigan announced on November 4 that five defendants have been convicted in a kidnapping conspiracy targeting a family member who had gone viral for a good deed. Roland Chatmon, 37, of Detroit; Leica Lopez Martinez, 33, of Lake Orion; Ieasha Stroman, 38, of Pontiac; and Dneiqua Stroman, 43, of Pontiac, have all pleaded guilty to kidnapping conspiracy and federal firearms offenses, U.S. Attorney Jerome F. Gorgon Jr. announced. Kenneth Anderson, 54, of Pontiac, previously pleaded guilty to money laundering for his role. Gorgon was joined by James Deir, Special Agent in Charge of the ATF Detroit Field Division.
According to court filings and admissions at the plea hearings, the conspiracy began in August 2025 after Chatmon's uncle went viral on social media for offering to help someone in need. A social media influencer raised money for the uncle and gave him over $100,000, a new car, and other gifts, all highly publicized. On August 24, 2025, Chatmon told his jailed brother about the uncle on a recorded jail call, and the two hatched a plan to take the money, laughing about it. Several other conspirators joined the plan.
On September 1, 2025, the group acted. One conspirator lured the victim by pretending to need a ride. While the victim drove, Chatmon gave directions by cell phone. After the victim parked, Chatmon and the remaining conspirators carjacked him at gunpoint, hog-tied him, and held him hostage in his own truck. They drove him around trying to get money out of his bank accounts, repeatedly pistol-whipping and beating him. After making cash withdrawals, they wanted more, and the victim offered a safe at his house. The conspirators drove there with the victim still tied up in the truck; Chatmon and Dneiqua Stroman broke in and stole the safe, and also tied up Chatmon's aunt and left her in a bathtub. They then left the victim on the ground next to his truck and set the truck on fire before fleeing. Later they met Anderson, who helped move money from the victim's Cash App account into their own.
The ATF executed search warrants at five residences in Detroit, Rochester Hills, and Pontiac on September 25, 2025, and arrested all the suspects. With their guilty pleas, the four kidnapping defendants each face a mandatory minimum of 7 years in federal prison and a maximum of life imprisonment. Anderson was previously sentenced to probation and ordered to pay restitution. Sentencing is scheduled for Lopez Martinez on February 3, 2027; Dneiqua Stroman on February 9; Chatmon on February 25; and Ieasha Stroman on March 15. The case was investigated by the ATF and is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Andrew R. Picek and Diane N. Princ. (Source: U.S. Department of Justice)
