Milwaukee shooting, robbery, armored car guard dies
MILWAUKEE - Scott Bee, 55, of Waukesha died after he was shot July 13 during a Milwaukee robbery at North Shore Bank near 79th and Capitol. Bee was working as an armored car guard.
Police arrested a Milwaukee man, 31, who is suspected of shooting Bee, but as of Tuesday, July 25, when Bee died from his injuries, that man had not been charged.
Shortly after 8 a.m. on July 13, surveillance captured a man walking in an alley near the bank. A camera near the bank captured the gunshots as the man ran away and got into a waiting SUV. He dropped some money, an estimated $70,000, picked some of it up and then sped off.
Bee, a Thillens armored truck guard, was shot multiple times. He and two other guards were putting money into an ATM.
"It was bad," said a witness. "He was laying there. He was alert. He was talking, but he was rolling in so much pain."

The next day, Colby Logan, 31, walked into Citgo near 76th and Villard. Officers with the Milwaukee Police Department's Special Investigation Division weren't far behind. As Logan was arrested, court filings say he yelled. "The money is at my mom's house."
To be clear, Logan hasn't been charged in connection to the armed robbery or shooting, but FOX6 is naming him because public records like search warrants and criminal filings say Logan is the prime suspect in the armored truck robbery.

Police arrested Toshiana Nelson, 26, in connection with the armored truck robbery. She's charged with attempting to aid a felon. Prosecutors say Nelson's husband rented the suspect SUV in the armored truck armed robbery.
After Logan's arrest, prosecutors say he called Nelson from the jail and told her he stashed some money behind some pop bottles inside that Citgo.
Investigators say Nelson showed up to look for it, but the money was gone. A worker found it and turned it over to police.
Nelson's bond was set at $5,000.
As of Tuesday, Logan had not been charged in connection to the armed robberies. It was not clear if he had an attorney.
FOX6 reached out to Bee's family and Thillens and haven't heard back.
