Two men from Brooklyn, New York, have been convicted in the brazen 2006 daytime robbery of a Georgetown jewelry store during which the shop owner was shot in the stomach.

A District of Columbia jury found 29-year-old Jose Lucas and 25-year-old Lexton Pellew guilty of multiple gun and robbery charges on Tuesday. Pellew also was found guilty of aggravated assault. Three other New York men had previously pleaded guilty for their roles in the robbery.

Moshe Motai was wounded critically when he was shot at close range in the stomach in the Aug. 20, 2006, robbery but later returned to his business. The violence was startling for the upscale neighborhood with ritzy shops and boutiques.

Under sentencing guidelines, Lucas and Pellew each face a possible sentence of more than 80 years in prison. Judge Robert Richter is scheduled to sentence them on Aug. 22.
