| Good afternoon, Chicago. A string of heists over several hours on May 3 and May 4, 2024, were among 14 similar crimes highlighted during a five-week federal trial that ended Tuesday with a federal jury finding Jordan Fox, 26, Ardaries Harris, 28, and his brother, Xavier Harris, 27, guilty of conspiracy, robbery and firearm offenses. The jury found that all three brandished firearms during at least some of the robberies, that Fox discharged a machine gun during a robbery of the Irish Nobleman Pub and that Ardaries Harris aided Fox’s discharge of a machine gun, according to the U.S. attorney’s office.
