We checked and saw several robberies at an Edgewater TCF had been recently reported, but saw nothing about the 4355 N Sheridan store.
Turns out it was robbed, and the FBI says that the man who did it -- Kevin Ross of Evanston -- had been on a one-man crime spree in Uptown, Edgewater and Evanston for the past five months.
He was shot dead by the police just four days later, on December 16th, after robbing a Chase Bank in Evanston for the second time. Since then, the FBI have linked him with bank robberies at
- Chase Bank, 901 Grove Street. Evanston, IL on 9/6/2013. 3:31PM.
- TCF Bank, 5343 N. Broadway, Chicago, IL. 10/2/2013. 5:01PM
- TCF Bank, 5343 N. Broadway, Chicago, IL on 12/5/2013. 4:49PM.
- TCF Bank, 4355 N. Sheridan. Chicago, Il on 12/12/13. 4PM.
- and of course, his fatal return to Evanston's Chase Bank on 12/16/2013
Hard to know what was going on in this guy's mind, as he had a clean record prior to this year, but one thing is clear: he won't be robbing any more TCFs in Edgewater or Uptown. A sad, weird story.
Our TCF on Broadway has an armed guard. I guess they can send him home now.
ReplyDeleteOne less criminal who taxpayers have to pay for, in regards to going through the judicial system and the time spent in jail and prison.
ReplyDeleteThose TCF's in Jewel are always a target. And a Merry Christmas and/or Happy Holidays from myself and my dog Poochie!
ReplyDeleteWhy is this sad? The menace is dead. Good riddance.
ReplyDeleteSad because the family of the murdered brothers will never know why they were killed. Sad for someone with no criminal history to start committing felonies all of a sudden. Sad for a widow and child to have to live knowing what the husband and father did and having no clue why. I'm not sad a criminal and murderer is no longer a threat, but there are tragic ripple effects and very few answers.
