On July 13, 2023, Scott Bee, a 55-year-old armored car guard from Waukesha, Wisconsin, was shot during a robbery outside North Shore Bank in Milwaukee. The incident occurred around 8:03 a.m. as Bee and another guard were depositing cash into an ATM. Surveillance footage captured the moment a suspect approached and opened fire, striking Bee. He was rushed to a local hospital but succumbed to his injuries on July 25, 2023.
Following the shooting, police quickly identified two suspects
involved in the robbery: Damien Huff, aged 29, who allegedly fired the shots, and Colby Logan, aged 32, who acted as the getaway driver. Both men were arrested after an investigation that included tracking Huff's phone and monitoring their activities. The robbery resulted in the theft of approximately $70,000 in cash. The police noted that this was not an isolated incident; it was part of a series of armed robberies in the area.
As legal proceedings unfolded, Logan reached a plea deal on November 25, 2024, admitting guilt to multiple counts related to the robbery and the felony murder charge connected to Bee's death. His sentencing is scheduled for January 23, 2025. Meanwhile, Huff faces charges for his role in the shooting and robbery as well. The case has drawn significant attention to issues of safety and security for armored car personnel and has prompted discussions about the increasing violence associated with such crimes in Milwaukee. Bee's family expressed their profound loss and called for justice following this tragic event.
