James McBride, 33, was killed on May 31, 2017, while working as an armored truck guard for Loomis in New Orleans. He and fellow guards were servicing an ATM at the Campus Federal Credit Union on Tulane Avenue when armed robbers ambushed them and a shootout erupted. McBride was struck by a bullet; investigators later determined the fatal shot came from a co-worker’s weapon fired during the exchange, but prosecutors held the attackers responsible for creating the deadly confrontation.

The New Orleans Police Department and the FBI linked the robbery to a planned conspiracy involving a father and son, Armstead and Jerome Kieffer, and an accomplice, Deltoine Scott. Jerome reportedly rented an apartment overlooking the credit union to surveil the armored car’s routine while Armstead acted as a lookout. Scott pleaded guilty, cooperated, and was later sentenced; Jerome and Armstead Kieffer were convicted at trial and received life sentences.

Does anyone have information about McBride’s route, schedule, or the security procedures at that Campus Federal Credit Union ATM that day?
