" ) 3 WILLIAM RUSSELL MATIX, ET AL incidents having similar modus operandi and witness observations. A brief narrative of the robberies attributed to captioned subjects through investigation up to 4/11/86 is as follows: 1) On October 10, 1985, at 12:30 p.m., one assailant with one getaway car driver (possible third passenger in the car) approached a guard of the WELLS FARGO ARMORED CAR SERVICE, serving WINN DIXIE, INC., 7930 Southwest 104th St. Miami, Florida, ordering the quard to "freeze." Simultaneous with this command the assailant wounded the guard with a blast of 12 gauge 0O buckshot, while the subject(s) in the getaway vehicle fired handgun and shoulder weapons at the armored car couriers. Subjects made getaway without obtaining loot. 2} On November 8, 1985, at 12:Noon, two male subjects, wearing mask, entered the lobby of the PROFESSIONAL SAVINGS BANK, 13100 South Dixie Highway, Miami, Florida, brandished shoulder and handgun weapons, and demanded the surrender of WELLS FARGO bags. The subjects obtained a total of $41,469 from three WELLS FARGO ARMORED CAR COMPANY money bags which had been routinely delivered (daily between 11:00a.m. and 11:30a.m.) that morning. The subjects made their getaway in a gold Chevrolert Monte Carlo automobile (see explanation of vehicle recovered in subsequent armored car robbery, January 10, 1986). 3) On January 10, 1986, at 10:30 a.m., two armed males attacked a BRINKS ARMORED CAR COMPANY courier as he opened the back door of his truck at BARNETT BANK, 13593 South Dixie ; Highway, Miami, Florida. The attack was initiated by one subject shooting the guard in the back with a large gauge shotgun (#7 shot load). Both subjects then approached the wounded guard , wherein the second subject shot him two additional times with a military type .223 caliber shoulder weapon -(witness description suggest an AR-15, Mini 14 or M-16 rapid firing rifle). Subjects obtained $54,000 loot and made their getaway in a 1977 gold colored Chevrolet Monte Carlo , Florida license tag xXQU-175, followed by an eye witness and later recovered by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Subjects switched from getaway car to a white Ford pickup truck and witness surveillance was discontinued. The 1977 Monte Carlo getaway vehicle recovered in this incident had been reported as nissing at Miami, Florida, since October 4, 1985, from EMILIO BRIEL, age 25, who mysteriously disappeared that day while target shooting at an abandoned rock pit in rural south Dade County (southwest Miami region). BRIEL's skeletal remains have been located subsequent to captioned incident, and forensic examination verifies investigator's presumption of homicide. It is also suspected that BRIEL's .22 caliber rifle, stolen with his automobile, is one of two untraceable firearms located at the residence of subject MICHAEL LEE PLATT. One .223 caliber bullet recovered from the above described BRINKS ARMORED CAR COMPANY robbery on January 20,:s8986 has been watched to @helis fired from a RUGER .223 cal.
