AURORA | The FBI on Thursday released more pictures of an Aurora man suspected in two violent bank robberies and a shooting last year.
The man, Myloh Jaqory Mason, 25, has been on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list since December.
FBI Special Agent Bob Evans said Mason, who was living in Aurora at the time of the robberies, is likely facing life in prison and knows investigators are searching for him.
“When someone knows they are facing life in prison, it makes him very unpredictable,” he said.
Evans heads the FBI’s Rocky Mountain Safe Streets Taskforce, which is searching for Mason.
The FBI has said Mason, who has ties to Colorado, Nevada and Florida, should be considered armed and dangerous.
Evans said Mason may be hiding in Colorado with the help of associates, or he may have fled the state.
According to the FBI, Mason and two others robbed a bank in Lakewood on Sept. 30 wearing costumes and masks from the movie Scream. During the robbery, they shoved guns in the faces of bank tellers and told them they would die unless they opened the vault, the FBI said.
On Nov. 18, Mason and two others again robbed a bank in Lakewood, this time wearing bright green and white skeleton masks, the FBI said. The trio took over the bank, brutalized tellers and got into the vault, the FBI said, and after fleeing the bank, they broke into a man’s house, pointed their weapons at him, and demanded he drive them somewhere in his minivan. When the man ran, the robbers shot him four times. After the robbers crashed the minivan, they attempted to carjack a woman, and allegedly shot her too.
Mason has been charged in Jefferson County with attempted murder, aggravated robbery, attempted kidnapping and assault. In federal court he is charged with being a convicted felon in possession of a ballistic vest. The men the FBI says were Mason’s partners, Tyrone Richardson and Miguel David Sanders, have been arrested.
