On February 12, 2015, Alvin Kinney, a 60-year-old Brinks armored guard, was ambushed and killed during a robbery while making a delivery at a Capital One Bank on Westheimer Road in Houston, Texas. The assailants, described as at least three individuals wearing body armor and face-shield masks, opened fire as Kinney was returning to his armored truck. The suspects fled the scene using a stolen white Ford F-250 pickup truck, which was believed to have been used in other crimes.
The FBI, in collaboration with the Houston Police Department, released a composite sketch of one of the suspects and launched a reward campaign offering up to $100,000 for information leading to the
arrest of those involved. Digital billboards displaying the sketch and reward information were placed across Texas and Louisiana as part of the investigation. Authorities are actively seeking leads, and they continue to encourage anyone with information to contact the FBI or Crime Stoppers of Houston.
