Mutulu Shakur (born Jeral Wayne Williams, August 8, 1950, Baltimore, Maryland), is a former proponent of the Republic of New Afrika and a close friend of Geronimo Pratt.
Shakur is best known for planning the infamous $1.6 million robbery of a Brinks armored truck in New York in which a guard and two police officers were killed. One of his accomplices in the holdup was Kathy Boudin, a member of the Weather Underground and a fugitive on the FBI's Most Wanted List for 11 years. Boudin was arrested while making her getaway from the scene of the crime, but Shakur escaped. Shakur had been a leader of an offshoot of the Black Liberation Army. He is currently incarcerated in the United States Penitentiary, Victorville in Adelanto, California. His projected release date is February 10, 2016.
