NEW YORK — A radical group leader who planned the 1981 Brink’s robbery that left two Nyack, New York, police officers and an armored car guard dead has been released from prison after 37 years, according to a report.
Mutulu Shakur, 72, was released for medical reasons, the Journal News in Westchester County reported Sunday. Bureau of Prisons records confirmed the release.
Shakur, the stepfather of late rapper Tupac Shakur, was last denied for parole in April and in 2016, when he was housed in the federal prison in Victorville, Calif.
