San Francisco Bank of America Armored Car Robbery/Murder1989

I'm not sure if this case is on this board or not...the case hits a little close to home since I happened to be working in an office two blocks from the robbery/murder location...and a month before the infamous San Francisco Giants-Oakland Athletics World Series Earthquake on October 17, 1989.    This was shown on AMW with John Walsh visiting San Francisco and profiling crimes committed there in the program and later repeated in the AMW Final Justice series.

On September 7, 1989, two men on bicycles had ambushed a Brinks armored car guard bringing out a sack of bank documents outside of the Bank of America's then-office headquarters at 555 California Street in San Francisco during the daytime hours on a weekday. One man shot the guard and the other took the sack. They also shot a second guard and a bystander and both survived their wounds.  The robbers high-fived each other and rode their bicycles through busy downtown traffic to escape. The bikes were found abandoned in the South of Market area with the serial numbers sanded off.  The stolen sack did not contain any money.  The suspects were not wearing masks and were described as Caucasian males in their 30s and wearing white baseball caps. .  A possible witness sighting had a third accomplice picking up the suspects in a station wagon.  The first guard, Joseph Arriola of Vallejo CA. died at the scene.

 It was something of a high-profile case at the time.  Haven't heard much about the case since the Final Justice rerun.

Being two blocks from an AMW crime scene...the case did stir my interest in being a fan of AMW since then.
