A Goshen teen has pleaded guilty for his role in a 2023 armed robbery at Twin Pines Mobile Home Park. 

Investigators say Eduardo Rueda and Johnathan Martinez targeted a 16-year-old who posted a PlayStation 5 for sale on Instagram.

According to a probable cause affidavit, Rueda met the teen outside his home when a vehicle pulled up and a masked man pointed a gun at the victim, stealing the PlayStation.

The Goshen News says police linked the truck to Martinez and uncovered surveillance video and SnapChat messages showing the two coordinating the robbery.

Martinez was sentenced in July to 12 years. Rueda pleaded guilty to Level 5 felony robbery and will be sentenced January 8.
