On Monday afternoon, November 28, 1994, John Magoch, an armored van driver for Wells Fargo, was killed while servicing a Dillard’s at Arrowhead Mall in Glendale, Arizona. Magoch stepped out of the driver’s side to smoke; an expert marksman in the parking lot fired a single shot to his head, and he died almost instantly, slumping over in the passenger seat.

Three men — Timothy Stuart Ring, James Greenham, and William Ferguson — carried out a planned robbery that day. After the shooting Greenham moved Magoch’s body, drove the armored van away and the trio met in a Sun City church parking lot to transfer more than $800,000 in cash and checks into Ring’s truck. The abandoned van was found later that evening with only coins left in the cash bags.

An informant and scrutiny of recent expensive purchases led investigators to Ring; a search of his home turned up a duffel bag with over $271,000. Ring was arrested February 16, 1995; Greenham testified that Ring was the shooter, and a jury convicted Ring of first-degree murder. The judge sentenced Timothy Ring to death, finding the killing was for financial gain and in an especially heinous and cruel manner.

If anyone knew Magoch or observed suspicious activity at Arrowhead Mall or the Sun City church parking lot that afternoon, please come forward.
