Chicago, IL – Federal authorities are searching for an armed suspect following a violent armored car robbery outside a Chase Bank on the city’s Southwest Side, where a security guard was shot during the incident late last month.
According to the FBI’s Chicago Field Office, the robbery occurred at approximately 9:53 a.m. on Monday, December 23, 2025, at the Chase Bank located at 4363 S. Archer Avenue. Investigators say an armed suspect approached an armored vehicle, made a verbal demand for money, and shot a security guard during the confrontation.
The suspect fled the scene and remains at large. The FBI is now offering a reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the individual responsible.
Authorities described the suspect as a Black male with a slim, athletic build. At the time of the robbery, he was reportedly wearing a dark puffer jacket, dark balaclava-style face mask, dark sunglasses, dark pants, and dark athletic shoes.
Investigators say the suspect was last seen driving a bronze Hyundai Elantra sedan with tinted windows. Officials warn that the individual should be considered armed and dangerous.
The shooting occurred in a busy commercial corridor in the Brighton Park neighborhood, located in Cook County, just southwest of downtown Chicago. Federal authorities have not released the condition of the injured security guard.
The FBI urges anyone with surveillance footage, dash camera video, or information about the suspect or vehicle to come forward. Tips can be submitted anonymously through the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI (225-5324) or online at tips.fbi.gov.
Residents and business owners in the area are encouraged to remain alert and report any suspicious activity immediately.
