Alvin Kinney was 60 and working as a Brinks armored car guard when he was ambushed and shot on February 12, 2015, in Houston’s Galleria area. He was loading money into an armored vehicle outside a Capitol One bank when three armed assailants wearing body armor and face-shield masks opened fire. A second Brinks guard returned fire, but Kinney was fatally wounded and later pronounced dead at Memorial Hermann Hospital.

Investigators say the suspects fled in a stolen white Ford F-250 pickup. Authorities believe the same group may be linked to two earlier armed robberies in the Houston area — a February 2014 incident at a Wells Fargo parking lot and a July 2014 robbery at a Capitol One branch — in which a stolen white Ford pickup was also used. The Houston Police Homicide Division and the FBI Violent Crimes Task Force are handling the case. No arrests have been announced. A combined reward of up to $105,000 has been offered for information leading to arrests, and Kinney’s family has publicly appealed for help.

Anyone with information about these robberies or the suspects is asked to come forward.
