McBride, whowas one of five arrestedin the crime in April 2021, was dating fellow accomplice Harold White at the time, the father of Jaylin White. Jaylin was involved in the robbery and shooting with James Jackson and Lafayette Whaley.
A previous LAPD news release said that the couple was “determined to be accessories after the initial crime” and were held on suspicion of accessory after the fact to attempted murder.

Due to his plea, prosecutors dropped some lesser charges: conspiracy to commit robbery, second-degree robbery, assault with a semiautomatic firearm and a felon carrying a concealed firearm in a vehicle.
