On Monday morning, June 25, 1990, Special Agent John Lawrence Bailey, 48, of the FBI was serving a subpoena at the Security Pacific Bank on East Desert Inn Road in Las Vegas when a man announced a robbery at about 11:53 a.m. Bailey drew his weapon after a teller screamed and identified himself; as the suspect turned, Bailey fired a single shot that missed. The robber dropped his gun and was subdued, but then lunged at Bailey, knocked away the agent’s gun, recovered his own weapon and fired. Witnesses reported hearing about six shots.

Paramedics found Bailey bleeding on the bank floor; he was taken to University Medical Center and died in surgery about three hours later. An autopsy recorded gunshot wounds to the chest (two), the back (one) and the right arm (one). Police arrested 27-year-old Carlos Gurry at his apartment later that day and charged him with murder and bank robbery; another man, Jose Echavarria, was sought for questioning.

Echavarria was later convicted of fatally shooting Bailey and sentenced to death, while Gurry was convicted of assisting in the murder, accused of being the lookout and getaway driver. What details about that morning or the investigation might help clarify exactly how events unfolded inside the bank?
