In February 2023, prosecutors say Pickens held Miller at gunpoint in the store, pistol-whipped her and fled the scene.
Evidence revealed that the couple, who were in a romantic relationship, had exchanged messages planning the robbery shortly before the crime, including reminders to adhere to their “plan” and to delete incriminating texts, according to a press release.
