Officials say when the homeowner opened the door to receive the package, the trio forced their way into the home. They say at one point, one of the men pointed a gun at the victim. The suspects also tied up the victim with duct tape and stole valuable items, including jewelry, worth more than $50,000.
Prosecutors say Gordon failed to appear in court Tuesday to hear the verdict and a judge ordered for him to be rearrested. His bond was set at $2.5 million.
Gordon will be sentenced Aug. 26.
One of the men involved, Jahsim Trotman previously pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 10 years in prison. A third man, Dominique Jackson, also pleaded guilty prior to his trial for having planned the robbery.
