April 8, 2017

An Escambia County man has been convicted of robbing an elderly couple at gunpoint in Cantonment during an armed home invasion.

Aray Donell Levine, 22, was convicted by an Escambia County jury of robbery with a firearm, theft from a person 65 years of age of order ($10,000 or more but less than $50,000), aggravated battery while actually possessing a firearm, two counts of aggravated assault (actual possession of a firearm) and grand theft auto.

Deputies arrived at the victims’ home on Pelican Pointe Drive after a reported invasion on May 7, 2016. They found one victim lying in a pool of blood in the kitchen and a second on the floor in a back bedroom. Levine and two other perpetrators  forced their way into the home after ringing the doorbell. They were armed with firearms and demanded money and guns from the victims.

One victim was pistol whipped while two more were threatened at gunpoint.

Prior to fleeing the scene the perpetrators stole nearly $20,000 in cash as well as the elderly victims’ 2008 Cadillac.

Levine is scheduled to be sentenced on May 2 before Circuit Judge Gary Bergosh. He faces up to life in state prison with a minimum mandatory sentence of 10 years in state prison.
