Armed Carjacking Lands Moore Man in Federal Prison for More Than a Decade

OKLAHOMA CITY – Earlier this week, BRIAN GENE TWO-BABIES, 39, of Moore, was sentenced to serve 121 months in federal prison for brandishing a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence and carjacking, announced U.S. Attorney Robert J. Troester.

On April 16, 2024, Two-Babies was charged by Superseding Information with brandishing a firearm during a crime of violence, and carjacking. According to public record, on December 15, 2023, Two-Babies approached a vehicle in Oklahoma City armed with a pistol. Two-Babies attempted to open a locked car door, threatened the driver multiple times, and then discharged the firearm into the air. The victim handed over their phone, keys, and wallet to Two-Babies, who pointed his firearm at the victim and threatened to take their life. Two-Babies drove away in the victim’s car and was arrested by Oklahoma City Police officers while still in the victim’s car the next morning. 

On April 22, 2024, Two-Babies pleaded guilty to the Superseding Information, and admitted to taking the car by force while armed, with the intent to cause “serious bodily harm”.

At the sentencing hearing on August 28, 2024 , U.S. district Judge Bernard M. Jones sentenced Two-Babies to serve 121 months in federal prison, followed by five years of supervised release. In announcing the sentence, the Court noted the serious and senseless nature of the offense, specifically how Two-Babies placed the victim in fear of their life and discharged a firearm during the crime. 

This case is the result of an investigation by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Oklahoma City Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorney Stan J. West prosecuted the case.

This case is also part of “Operation Shots Fired.”  Operation Shots Fired targets cases involving individuals who discharge firearms as part of their criminal activity, such as drive-by shootings or when shots are fired during robberies, domestic disputes, or other incidents.
