Overview
- The fatal traffic stop happened Friday when FBI surveillance boxed in an SUV on West Lexington Street and the driver fired at agents through a shattered sunroof before agents returned fire.
- Federal court documents filed Saturday identify the man killed as the alleged leader of a group called the “100k gang” that investigators tied to multiple BMO Harris robberies.
- A co-defendant, Dayvon Walton, has been charged in a federal complaint and admitted to participating in at least two robberies including a St. Charles heist that took about $201,780.
- Investigators used a confidential informant, court-authorized phone tracking and GPS trackers hidden in stolen cash to link suspects and locate getaway vehicles in the probe.
- The man shot had recent felony convictions and had been released from state custody in January, raising questions about parole and supervision as the FBI’s Inspection Division reviews the shooting.
