On September 14, 2020, 28-year-old Jose Montes was killed while working as an armored security guard at an ATM outside a neighborhood credit union in West Oak Cliff, Dallas. An unknown man carrying a rifle approached him wearing a black jacket marked police, demanded property and shot Montes despite Montes complying; Montes was later pronounced dead at a nearby hospital.

Investigators say the attack was premeditated: surveillance shows a vehicle arriving 36 minutes before Montes’ armored van. Witnesses described a woman driving the getaway car and a man exiting to shoot; the suspects fled in a white Volkswagen Passat. No arrests have been made and the Dallas Police Department continues to seek information; an additional $50,000 reward has been authorized for information leading to an arrest and indictment.

Montes’ family has held candlelight vigils and urged anyone with information to come forward. If anyone saw the white Volkswagen Passat or noticed suspicious activity in West Oak Cliff that morning, can you help investigators by sharing what you know?
