Man convicted of murder in Chicago bank robbery

A federal jury has convicted a man of fatally shooting a teller during a 2007 holdup of a Chicago bank.

David Vance was accused of first-degree murder in the death of 23-year-old Tramaine Gibson, who was shot after he was unable to open a vault during the robbery of Illinois Service Federal Savings and Loan on May 22, 2007.

A bank patron and a bank guard were wounded during the robbery, which netted the robbers $6,000.

In addition to presenting eyewitness accounts, videotape of the robbery and DNA evidence, prosecutors also called co-defendant Alton Marshall to testify. Marshall, who pleaded guilty in 2009 to avoid the death penalty, identified Vance as an accomplice.

A third suspect, Henry Bluford, also pleaded guilty in 2009.
