A masked robber who held up a U.S. Bank branch in West Milwaukee in January is still on the run, and federal agents are now putting up to $5,000 on the table for a tip that leads to his arrest and conviction, investigators said. Surveillance images released by authorities show a suspect who fled the scene on foot and did not injure anyone. He was last seen walking northbound under the S. 35th Street viaduct after the holdup, according to investigators.
What investigators released
The FBI Milwaukee Field Office and the West Milwaukee Police Department say the robbery happened at the U.S. Bank at 4140 West Greenfield Avenue at about 10:16 a.m. on Monday, January 12, 2026. During the incident, the man implied he had a firearm, demanded cash and fled with an undisclosed amount; no one was hurt, as reported by TMJ4. Officials describe the suspect as a 20- to 29-year-old man, between 5'9" and 5'11" and weighing roughly 160 to 170 pounds, based on investigators' images.
Where to call with tips
The U.S. Bank branch at 4140 W. Greenfield is listed in the bank’s directory, per U.S. Bank. If you have information, contact the FBI Milwaukee Field Office at (414) 276-4684 or submit a tip at tips.fbi.gov; you may also call the West Milwaukee Police Department at (414) 645-2151, per the village’s public information packet.

Why investigators turn to public tips

Authorities say tips from the public are often the final lead needed to identify suspects from grainy photos and get cases to a resolution.
