Milwaukee armored truck robbery; guard killed, men now charged
MILWAUKEE - Two Milwaukee men are now charged in connection to the July armored truck robbery and killing of a guard.
Prosecutors said 28-year-old Damien Huff pulled the trigger, and 31-year-old Colby Logan was the getaway driver.
The guard, 55-year-old Scott Bee of Waukesha, died after he was shot during the robbery at North Shore Bank near 80th and Capitol.

The bank's drive-thru had just opened on July 13 and the armored truck was putting money into an ATM when surveillance cameras captured a man walking in an alley. Gunshots followed, and the man ran off with nearly $70,000 in cash – dropping some as he got into a waiting SUV and drove off.
The next day, court filings said Logan walked into a Citgo gas station near 76th and Villard. MPD's Special Investigation Division wasn’t far behind. Police were also tracking Huff’s phone, and the FBI was watching him, when police arrested him during a July 19 traffic stop near 28th and Fond du Lac.

Both men are now charged in connection to the armored truck robbery and homicide – as well as five armed robberies of four Milwaukee Walgreens pharmacies dating back to June.
Authorities had been watching the vehicle used in those robberies, including the day before the armored truck robbery. Court documents said a different vehicle was used in the armored truck robbery – a rental vehicle found in an alley near 28th and Wright – and traced back to 26-year-old Toshiana Nelson.

Nelson is charged with attempting to aid a felon. After Logan’s arrest, prosecutors said he called Nelson from jail and told her to pick up money he stashed behind some pop bottles at the Citgo gas station.
Investigators said Nelson showed up, but the money was gone; a worker found it and turned it over to police.
Logan and Huff haven't made their first court appearances in the case, and it's unclear if they have attorneys representing them. Both are still in custody, as is Nelson.
