Volday was previously arrested on June 10, 2020, for robbing three young women — sex workers aged 18, 19 and 20 — at gunpoint.

At that time, he was charged with theft of a motor vehicle, possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000 and two counts of robbery with a firearm.

The outcome of those earlier charges was not immediately known.
