On Friday afternoon, May 27, 1988, Phoenix Police Officer Kenneth Collings, 32, was working a uniformed off-duty security detail at a Valley National Bank at West McDowell Road and 21st Avenue. He was shot and killed after moving to arrest two men involved in a robbery when one of the suspects opened fire, inflicting a fatal wound.

One suspect was arrested shortly after the shooting. The other fled across the border into Mexico, prompting a long manhunt that lasted more than a decade before he was located there in June 2000, wounded in a shootout with local police and subsequently returned to Arizona to face charges. In November 2002 that man was sentenced to life in prison after prosecutors agreed not to seek the death penalty as a condition of extradition.

Does anyone have memories of Officer Collings or information about the robbery on May 27, 1988?
