FBI Seeks ‘SAVAGE’ Sweatshirt Suspect In Wisconsin Bank Robbery

WEST MILWAUKEE, WI — The FBI is asking for the public’s help identifying a masked suspect captured in surveillance images during a bank robbery in West Milwaukee.

The robbery happened around 10:16 a.m. on Jan. 12 at the U.S. Bank located at 4140 W. Greenfield Ave., according to federal authorities.

Images released by investigators show the suspect inside the bank wearing a black mask and a dark sweatshirt with the word “SAVAGE” printed across the chest. In one image, the man appears to be leaning toward a teller counter during the encounter.

Authorities say the suspect approached a teller, implied he had a firearm and demanded cash before fleeing on foot with an undisclosed amount of money. He was last seen walking northbound under the South 35th Street viaduct. No one was injured.

The suspect is described as a Black man between 20 and 29 years old, about 5-foot-9 to 5-foot-11 and weighing between 160 and 170 pounds.

Investigators warn he should be considered armed and dangerous.

The FBI is offering a reward of up to $5,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction. Anyone with information is asked to contact the FBI’s Milwaukee Field Office at 414-276-4684, the West Milwaukee Police Department at 414-645-2151, or submit a tip online.
