The robbery suspect killed in a shooting involving an FBI agent on Chicago's West Side on Thursday has been identified.

The Cook County Medical Examiner's Office identified him as 25-year-old Abdulhafedh Abdulhafedh.

The FBI said agents stopped a vehicle with Abdulhafedh and others inside around 3 p.m. They were wanted in connection with a bank robbery.

Abdulhafedh fired shots from the sun roof of an SUV, and agents returned fire, killing him.

A man shot and killed by FBI agents during a standoff on Chicago’s Near West Side Thursday was a parole absconder suspected of robbing five suburban banks since his release from prison in January, according to a federal complaint filed Friday against a man accused of helping him rob one of those banks.

The man killed, Abdulhafedh Abdulhafedh, 25, is believed to have been the “mastermind” of the robbery operation, planning the crimes and recruiting partners to carry them out, the complaint alleges.

Shortly before 5 p.m. on April 21, three men, including a man named Dayvon Walton, allegedly entered a BMO Harris Bank at 300 South Randall Road in St. Charles.

Two carried firearms and one held a pistol as they forced two bank tellers to the back of the bank and ordered them to open three vaults, the complaint against Walton says.

One of the tellers could hear that the taller of the two armed men was receiving directions through headphones connected to a communications device, possibly a phone.

One of the men collected $201,780 in U.S. currency along with foreign money and put it into several black trash bags. While two armed men were in the vault, the third stayed in the bank’s lobby, forcing the manager and a customer to lie face down on the ground.

St. Charles police followed a tracker hidden in the stolen currency and found the abandoned getaway car.

Through further investigation, they identified a second getaway vehicle, which they located on Chicago’s West Side.

Officers surveilled it until a group of people got inside, at which point Chicago police pulled the car over during a traffic stop.

The owner told officers they were heading on a trip and permitted CPD to search the vehicle, according to the complaint.

Inside the car, police found a backpack that the occupants said they did not own. It allegedly contained $31,993 in U.S. currency and approximately $2,000 in foreign currency, with a BMO Harris bank wrapper around some of the cash.

Earlier this month, a confidential source told the FBI that Walton was a member of a bank robbery crew called the “100K gang” that had been targeting banks around the Chicago area, the complaint says.

The informant provided a photo of Walton from Facebook and later told agents the crew was preparing to rob a bank on May 19, but that plans for a getaway car had fallen through, and they were looking for the informant to rent one for them.

The FBI eventually obtained court authorization to track phones associated with Walton and Abdulhafedh.

On Thursday morning, surveillance agents watched both men leave a house and get into a black Cadillac Escalade.

Around 3 p.m., knowing Abdulhafedh had an active parole violation warrant, FBI agents initiated a traffic stop in the 3700 block of West Lexington Street.

Walton and two other people fled the vehicle on foot, the complaint said. But Abdulhafedh remained inside, refused to come out and eventually opened fire on FBI agents, resulting in his death.

Walton later spoke with FBI agents and admitted to taking part in an attempted bank robbery on April 6 in Niles and the April 21 robbery in St. Charles, the complaint says.

Abdulhafedh was on parole for possessing a stolen motor vehicle and the attempted robbery of a bank in New Lenox in 2021.

Officials said he entered the bank, handed a teller a garbage bag and ordered employees to fill it with cash before fleeing empty-handed when a customer walked in.

His prior felony convictions include theft, burglary, an additional stolen vehicle case and aggravated fleeing.
