Christopher Ransom, the 27-year-old accused robber shot inside the T-Mobile store on Tuesday, was also being sought for a series of phone store robberies going back to October, the police said. Ransom had an accomplice in the T-Mobile store robbery who arrived with him in a cab and waited outside the store while he went inside. He was accused of robbing phone stores in Brooklyn and Queens on five days in late March and early April. In most of those robberies, investigators said, Mr. Watson brought along a laundry bag to use to carry off his haul. Mr. Watson has since pleaded guilty to racketeering charges that include not only robbery charges, but accusations of murder.
