On April 11, 1986, at niami, Florida, sns of the Miami
Division attempted to apprehend two suspects responsible for a
series of armed bank and armored car robberies. In the attempted
apprehension, the subjects William R. Matix and Michael Lee Platt
opened fire on SAs. In the ensuing gunfight, SAs Benjamin P.
Grogan and Jerry Dove were killed. SAs Edmundo Mireles, Jr.,
John F. Hanlon, Jr. and Supervisory Special Agent Gordon G.
McNei11 received serious wounds and SAs Gilbert M. Orrantia and
Richard A. Manauzzi received minor wounds. The remaining Agent
in the gunfight, SA Ronald G. Risner, was unharmed. Both
subjects were killed by fire of SAs. No civilians were hit
either by Agents fire or by fire from the subjects. some
property damage was done to neighboring residences and vehicles.
Best estimates are that approximately 145 shots were fired in
this exchange of gunfire.
Since October, 1985, the Miami Division had been
attempting to identify, locate and apprehend two unknown subjects
responsible for a series of five bank and armored car robberies.
During two of these robberies, the unknown subjects opened fire
and wounded armored car personnel. The last in this series of
robberies occurred on March 19, 1986, in Southwest Miami,
Florida. All of the robberies had taken place in the same
geographical area of Southwest Miami. Agents of the C-1 Squad
reactive squad! of the Miami Division had conducted
-surveillances on two separate occasions in this area in an
attempt to locate and apprehend these robbers.

An examination of the facts in this case has determined
that there are no legal issues in this incident. The Special
Agents SAs! were acting within their official capacities and all
their activities in this incident were legal and proper. The
United States Attorney has corroborated this and concurs.
. The conduct of the Agents involved in this incident was
above reproach. They conducted themselves in a superb fashion
and maintained their composure in the face of extreme adversity.
Special attention must be brought to the conduct of
SA Edmundo Mireles, Jr. SA Mireles, at the outset of this '
gunfight, was gravely wounded. From his statement and the
statements of others,'it is apparent that for a good portion of
this incident, he was unconscious or in a semidazed condition.

killed them. His actiiii were taken with total disregard for his
personal safety and his conduct went far beyond the call of duty.
His actions exemplify the highest traditions of the FBI. It is
the observation of the Inspector and his entire team that
SA Mireles is deserving of the highest award that may be granted.
It is noted that all of the Agents had been issued, and
had with them, protective vests. The investigation has
determined that SA Ronald G. Risner placed his protective vest on
at the start of this gunfight and that Supervisor Gordon G.
McNeill had placed his vest over his head but had not secured the
velcro straps. The other Agents were not wearing their vests and
the subjects were not wearing vests. Tests reveal the vests
issued to Agent personnel would not stop the .223 caliber rounds
that were fired by Michael Lee Platt. -

During this incident, two Agents lost control of their
handguns. SA Richard A. Manauzzi had his revolver lying on the
seat next to him and seconds before the car stop was called for,
he observed one of the subjects pointing a weapon in the
direction of other Agents. He reacted by ramming the subjects
vehicle from the rear and, as a result, his weapon slid off the
seat and came to rest between the seat and passenger door, out of
his sight. SA Manauzzi was shot by subject William R. Matix with
a shotgun just after the vehicles stopped and he exited his
vehicle, unarmed, and took cover, which was the only course of
action open to him.
SA Hanlcn also had a revolver on the seat of his
vehicle, which went to the floor during the impact of his
vehicle. SA I-Ianlon was

between a parked civilian vehicle, an FBI vehicle and a tree, and
flanked by two FBI vehicles. A third FBI vehicle, operated by
SAs Hanlon and Mireles, had lost control during the impacts and
came to rest against a wall on the west side of 82nd Avenue just

Manauzzi's gun, which was alongside him on the car seat, was
knocked to the floor of the car. SA Manauzzi, wounded and
unarmed, exited his vehicle and took shelter behind a wall on the. . .west side of 52nd Avenue. SSA McNeill, who had driven hisO Ovehicle against the side of SA Manauzzi's vehicle, fired on the

SA Hanlon was lying on the ground, directly behind the vehicle.
At this point, SA Mireles, who had been severely wounded and

I. SUMMARY OF KNOWN/SUSPECTED PRIOR CRIMINAL
ACTIVITY OF SUBJECTS IN MIAMI, FLORIDA, AREA
AND NARRATIVE OF SHOOTING INCIDENT
Investigation leading to the shooting incident on
April 11, 1986, at Miami, Florida, was predicated upon receipt of
information identifying a 1979 Chevrolet Monte Carlo vehicle as
being used by bank robbery subjects in the robbery of the Barnett
Bank, 13593 South Dixie Highway, Miami, Florida, on March 19,
1986. These subjects identity unknown at the time! had stolen
the 1979 Monte Carlo on March 12, 1986, at Miami, Florida.
Investigation between March 19, 1986, and April 11, 1986, of
previously unsolved bank robberies/armored car heists in the
south Florida area determined that the individuals using this
stolen automobile were directly responsible for two armored car
robberies, two bank robberies, two attempted homicides and oneapparent homicide victim missingg, as well as being suspect inother robbegggmoidents hA,§g~$l ilar mcdus operandi and witness

Simultaneous with this
command, the assailant wounded the guard with a blast of 12 gauge
00 buckshot, while the subject s! in the getaway vehicle fired
handgun and shoulder weapons at the armored car couriers.
Subjects made getaway without obtaining loot.
! On November 8, 1985, at 12:00 noon, two male
subjects, wearing masks, entered the lobby of the Professional
savings Bank, 13100 South Dixie Highway, Miami, Florida,
brandished shoulder and handgun weapons, and demanded the
surrender of Wells Fargo bags. The subjects obtained a total of
$41,469 from three Wells Fargo Armored Car Company money bags
which had been routinely delivered daily between 11:00 a.m. and
11:30 aim.! that morning. The subjects made their getaway in a
gold Chevrolet Monte Carlo automobile see explanation of vehicle
recovered in subsequent armored oar robbery, January 10, 1986!.
! On January 10, 1986, at 10:30 a.m., two armed
males attacked a Brinks Armored car Company courier as he opened
the back door of his truck at the.Barnett Bank, 13593 South Dixie
Highway, Miami, Florida. The attack was initiated by one subject
shooting the guard in the back with a large-gauge shotgun #7
shot load!. Both subjects then approached the wounded guard,
wherein the second subject shot him two additional times with a

incidents, were carried out by common subjects exact munber
unknown!. The frequency of the robberies, as well as the
relatively confined area of the activity, led to a hypothesis .
that these subjects would carry out similar-style robberies in
the near future and stage these heists in the same neighborhood.
Qgigg ta iprii ii, igae, the Miami office increased liaison with
armored couriers and area banking officers. Local police
departments also increased patrol coverage of institutions in the
south Miami area. The Miami Office conducted random
surveillances of armored car routes and scheduled deliveries and
saturated the suspect area by quadrant assignment of personnel on
dates considered probable robbery days. It was in the

this plan. On two prior occasions had been
unsuccessful in the subjects. The squad, utilizing 14
Special Agents, under"-§_e supervision of 5-SA Gordon G. 1*-Eclleill,
on April ll, 1986, decided to set up in the area of four banks in
the general southwest section of Miami, where all known prior
activity was centered. This Special Agent complement included
three Resident Agents from the Homestead Resident Agency RA!,
since at least one of the robberies had occurred in their
territory, which is adjacent to the Headquarters City territory
in southwest Miami. All 14 participating Agents had received a
briefing and instructions, and all were familiar with the
backgrounds of each of the preceding robberies. Investigation in
this matter had been closely coordinated with the Metropolitan-
Dade County Police Force; however, no local officers participated
in the April ll, 1986, surveillance activity.
Vehicles utilized were Bureau cars belonging to the
squad and to the Homestead RA, and at least one of these vehicles
had radio communications with Metro-Dade County Police radio.
The Agents were armed with their sidearms and a number of the
Agents had shoulder weapons. SA Edmundo Mireles, Jr., and
SSA Gordon s. neneiii both had shotguns in their vehicles. ether
Agents on the surveillance who were not involved in the shooting
were armed with M-16 rifles and submachine guns. All weapons
utilized were Bureau issued or Bureau-approved weapons and all
of the Agents were fully qualified with the weapons in theirpossession. __

Subjects switched from getaway car to a white Ford pickup truck
and witness surveillance was discontinued.
._ The 1977 Monte Carlo getaway vehicle recovered in this

October 4, 1985, from Emilio Briel, age 25, who mysteriously
disappeared that day while target shooting at an abandoned rock
pit in rural south Dade County southwest Miami region}. Briel's

ISSA McNei11 assigned teams of Agents to cover four
banks in the southwest area. These banks were separated by
approximately 55~6O blocks.
The shooting inquiry team has in its possession a
transcript of FBI radio transmissions which were monitored and
tape recorded by a citizen who is a stringer for the "Miami
Herald" newspaper and who monitors via scanner law enforcement
channels in an effort to pick up a story. In

It is from the transcript of the FBI radio
broadcast that at some point during the surveillance, the
subjects became aware that they were being followed and then
began slowly driving on side streets with which they werefamiliar. Exhibits in the body of this report depict the pursuit
and final stopping points of the vehicles involved in this
incident.
As the vehicles involved came south on Southwest 82nd

shot down the drivers side of Vehicle D. while Matix
exchanged fire with SAs Grogan and Dove, Michael Lee Platt left
cover of his vehicle and proceeded down the passenger side of car

point, SA,Mira1as,sQ§4¬'YB'apparent1y semiconscious, and was
slightly behind sari , opened fire on the subjects in the FBI
car, utilising his Queauissued shotgun. sh Mireles was forced
to fire the gun onehanded. He rolled over on his back, put the
shotgun between his legs, racked it with his right hand, forced
himself up, pointed it over the rear bumper of the car and fired
at the subjects. He apparently fired five rounds of 00 buckshot,
puncturing the car in the left front fender, driver's window, and
through the windshield. Somehow in this round of fire he hit the
subject Platt through both feet. SA Mireles then rose to his
feet, drew his service revolver, and advanced on car #6 firingand inflicting fatal wounds on both subjects. ,Lé
Arriving Special Agents, including SP observedthis last round of fire. Other FBI units, police units and
medical emergency units arrived momentarily, rushing the wounded
Agents to hospital facilities.
This narrative account of the shooting has been
furnished by the Agents involved, by statements of eye witnesses
in the neighborhood, and crime scene investigation.
A crime scene search by Metro-Dede HOmiCid8 DEt9CtiVES
and Agents of the FBI Laboratory establishes 131 identifiable
rounds were fired. It is probable that other rounds were fired
and cartridge cases not retrieved. It is estimated that a
minimum of 131 and as many as 140-145 total rounds were
exchanged. Ballistics identifications definitely establish that

them, impacted once again into the driver's side of the subjects
car, pinning it between MM-66, a tree and a parked automobile in
a yard in front of the residence 12201, 12203 southwest 82nd
Avenue. Vehicles #1 and #2 were parked unoccupied in that
residence and Vehicle B the subjects vehicle! came to rest
between them and a tree directly in front of the subjects and
Vehicle C SA Manauzzi's vehicle!. Vehicle E, occupied by
S$A McNeill, turned into the area and Vehicle D, occupied by
SAs Grogan and Dove, had made a Uturn and parked to the rear
of the subjects vehicle. At this point, one of the subjects,
now thought to be the subject William R. Matix, fired a shotgun
blast at sA Manauzzi. The shot, determined to be #6 shot,
penetrated the window of the Bureau car and struck SA Manauzzi in
the back and the back of the head as he was exiting his vehicle
on the driver's side. SA Manauzzi did not have his weapon
strapped on his hip in a holster. It was lying beside him and,in the impact, the gun went_to the floor of the car. SA Manauzziwas unab1e.;i;oj'?4'ind t and..;his vehicle unarmed. As he left

ssa McNeill leaned across the hood of SA Manauzzi's car and -
emptied his revolver into the passenger compartment of the Monte
Carlo, occupied by the subjects. At this point SSA McNeill was
hit in the hand by return fire. Bleeding profusely, he attempted
to reload: however, blood from his hand ran into the cylinders
and he could not put more rounds into his weapon. SSA Mceill
then withdrew toward the rear of Vehicle E.
In the impact of Vehicle A on the wall, SA Hanlon's
service revolver, not secured on his hip, although bolstered, was
lost or tumbled to the floor of the car and SA Hanlon drew his
five-shot Smith and Wesson snubnosed revolver from an ankle
holster and proceeded into the shooting area. SAs Hanlon and
Mireles had exited their vehicle and were running onto the scene.
As SA Mireles approached the area of Vehicle E, he was taken
under fire by the riflemen, suffered a severe wound to his left
arm and went down. SA Hanlon proceeded to the rear of
Vehicle D, crouched and fired five rounds from his fiveshot
revolver into the back of the subjects vehicle. As SA Hanlon
started to reload his weapon, he was hit in the arm by rifle fire
and he went down. At this point or shortly before, SAs Gilbert
M. Orrantia and Risner arrived on the scene and began firing at
the subjects, who by this time were out of their vehicle and
moving in the area of the two Vehicles designated R and V, and
Vehicle B, utilizing these vehicles as cover. SA Orrantia fired

%40 rounds were fired by Platt from the Ruger .223 semiautomatic

discharged by Matix from his shotgun. Both Matix and Platt were
armed with .357 magnum revolvers, one a Den Wesson Manufacture,
the other a Smith and Wesson. Both of them fired three rounds
from their revolvers without striking Agents. All of the severe
damage done to Agent personnel was inflicted by the .223 caliber
ammunition. SA Manauzzi suffered superficial wounds from shotgun
pellets: SA Orrantia suffered superficial wounds believed to have
been inflicted by shrapnel from a .357 round entering the
passenger's compartment of his vehicle. Ballistics examinations
have determined that Agents fired the following rounds: SA
Risner six rounds from his .9m. BA Risner states that he
fired 13 or 14 and had put a second loaded clip in the weapon:
however, only six cartridges were recovered. SA Grogan - nine

The black material removed from the trunk of SA Manauzzi's
vehicle, specimen Q29, is not the same material as that comprising the
soles_of Platt's shoes, specimens K6 and K7. Some of the Q29 scrapings
contain a urethanetype polymer and it is suitable for comparison
purposes in the event other suspected sources are obtained and
submitted to the Laboratory.
Specimens Q27 and Q28, representing paint scrapings from the
blue Buick Lasabre SA Haneuzzi's vehicle}, contain foreign, smeared
and crushed, off-white acrylic lacquer on the top surface of the blue
paint.

system on the Buick Century, specimen K2 SAs Dove's/Grogan's vehicle!.
Therefore, the left front door area of SA Manauzzi's vehicle contacted
Dove's/Grogan's vehicle.
Specimen Q21 taken from the Buick Century consists of a
oft, dark brown grease or lubricant-type compound. There was
in the items submitted to the laboratory comparable with Q21
source of this material cannot be determined.
Specimens Q30, Q31, and Q32 taken from the Dodge Diplomat all
contain black plasticlike material s! which is consistent with some
automotive-type accessory trim components. Since no trim components
from any of the vehicles involved were submitted to the Laboratory, it
, .was not possible to determine the source s! of these materials taken
from the Dodge Diplomat. They are suitable for comparison purposes in
the event known samples are obtained.
Specimen Q26, taken from the right front fender of "
SA Hanauz2is vehicle, contains black nonmetallic acrylic lacquer paint
particles which are like the paint system present on the Monte Carlo,
} specimen Kl. It is concluded that the right front fender of
SA Manauzzi's vehicle contacted the Monte Carlo.
Based on the evidence made available for examinations to the
Materials Analysis Unit, no additional conclusions or inferences can be
made at this time.
