MILWAUKEE -- Federal authorities continue to search for a man accused of being a serial bank robber. Kamisha Amos says the FBI raided her home Thursday, August 10th searching for her brother, 25-year-old Devontae Amos. They didn't find him. Now, she has an interesting message for him.

"They had to bust all these windows out. Bring out full guns to my residence," said Kamisha.

It was a home visit near 29th and Carmen, Kamisha Amos was not expecting.

During the search, Kamisha says authorities took a list of items but never found Amos.

"I would've gladly opened that door for them to do a search in my house because I know that he's not here or has not been here," said Kamisha.

Amos is accused of robbing two banks in West Allis, and another in Oostburg. The FBI tracked him down last week at a home near 97th and Lisbon, but he slipped away.

"They trashed my whole place. Windows busted out, carpet burnt up from the smoke bombs they threw in here," Kamisha said.

While the FBI wants her brother in custody, her message for him is the opposite:

"Keep running. Keep running that's what I'm going to say," said Kamisha.
