2 Chicago bank heist suspects in court


Two more suspects in a bank holdup that left a teller dead and two others wounded on the city's South Side last month made their first appearance in federal court Monday.

David Vance, 28, and Henry Bluford, 29, are charged with armed robbery and use of a weapon in the May 22 holdup at the Illinois Service Federal Savings and Loan, prosecutors said.

The two men, who were arrested Friday, did not enter pleas. If convicted, they could face up to life in prison.

Another suspect, Alton Marshall, 30, was arrested earlier last week and appeared in federal court Saturday on charges of bank robbery and using a firearm during a violent crime.

No one has been charged with the fatal shooting of 23-year-old teller Tramaine Gibson. A female customer and a male security guard were wounded.

During a news conference Monday, federal authorities said they have clear surveillance videotape of the crime, but noted the robbers were all masked and have blamed each other for the fatal shooting.

"We know we have all the right players. We have them all arrested. As to who was the shooter, we have our own personal views," said Robert Grant, special agent in-charge of the FBI's Chicago office.

A bond hearing is scheduled for Thursday.
