On March 18, 2016, at about 12:00 p.m., 32-year-old Melvin Moore was working as an armored car courier for Loomis at the Chase Bank drive-up ATM at 5207 Airline Drive in Houston when an unknown Black male exited the back seat of a black four-door sedan and opened fire. Moore, struck multiple times, managed to draw his weapon and return fire before the assailant re-entered the vehicle and fled west toward the North Freeway. Moore was taken to Ben Taub General Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Investigators later linked Moore’s killing to a series of armored car robberies in the Houston area. In a December 7, 2016, sting operation, law enforcement arrested several people tied to those crimes; court documents implicated the crew in multiple attacks, including the March 18, 2016, fatal shooting of Moore. The case record names Redrick Batiste as the alleged ringleader and lists Marc Hill, Nelson Polk, John Scott, and Trayvees Duncan-Bush among those arrested. Moore left behind a wife and four young children; his mother and sister described relief when suspects were taken into custody.

Does anyone have additional details about Moore’s service route that day or saw the black four-door sedan near Airline Drive on March 18, 2016?
