The armed robber who held up the F Street Bookstore shortly before his getaway driver was shot to death by police has pleaded guilty to robbery and faces 14 years in state prison.

Tiano Alexander Durham, 21, of South Bay Terraces, will be sentenced June 3 by San Diego Superior Court Judge Leo Valentine, Jr.

Durham also pleaded guilty to an unrelated bank robbery and he agreed to accept a 14-year stipulated sentence, according to court records.

Durham held up a clerk at the F Street Bookstore on University Avenue in North Park on April 18, 2007. Two San Diego Police officers noticed a man running out of the adult bookstore. He took off a stocking mask and ran off, apparently seeing the officers.

Officers noticed a man sitting in a green Chevy Cavalier with its engine running on Florida Street. The driver apparently saw police and drove a short distance and turned on Lincoln Avenue, which was a dead-end.

Officers followed him and approached the car. They saw he had a gun in his lap. They called for him to drop the weapon, but instead the driver fired several shots, missing both officers. They returned fire and fatally wounded Maurice Antoine White, 30, of Valencia Park.

Durham was arrested April 26, 2007. Court records say Durham was a member of a criminal street gang.

Durham remains in the South Bay Detention Facility on $510,000 bail.
