FBI Names Suspect in Balch Springs Armored-Guard Shooting, Files Federal Robbery Charge

Federal prosecutors named 27-year-old Laroyce Antoine Lambert following an arrest built on surveillance video that tracked a Dodge Charger to a Fort Worth apartment.

Overview

  • Lambert appeared in Dallas federal court on a charge of attempted interference of commerce by robbery, waived a detention hearing, and remains in custody.
  • A federal complaint says the gunman demanded access to ATM cash, fired three shots when told it was not accessible, and fled through a fence as the guard’s body camera captured him pointing a firearm.
  • Investigators say surveillance showed the suspect dressed in black carrying a dark gray bag, then getting into a Dodge Charger that agents later traced to an apartment where he was arrested.
  • The Loomis armored guard who was servicing a Chase drive-up ATM on Lake June Road remains hospitalized in critical condition, according to the FBI.
  • Authorities say the investigation continues, the bank branch has reopened, and officials have praised the multi-agency response while asking the public to share tips.
