Court records say the locksmith was speaking with someone on Facebook Marketplace about reprogramming car keys. They agreed to meet on West Eggert Place.
Investigators say once the man got there, someone got out of a black Nissan with a silver pistol and said "he knew what time it was."
Then, another suspect took the man's two phones, $150 in cash and his keys.
Prosecutors say they took his vehicle full of thousands of dollars worth of equipment, including about 100 blank key fobs and drove off.
Court records show the next day, Smith was identified in an armed robbery, where he stole $800 from a victim using Cash App. Police arrested him days later.
