Armored Car Firm Offers Reward : Crime: A third suspect remains at large in the shooting of a driver delivering cash to an ATM in Garden Grove.

Police were still searching Saturday for a third suspect in the botched robbery of an armored car driver, who was shot four times and gravely wounded.

The victim, John G. Statkus, 24, of Fullerton, remained in critical condition in intensive care Saturday at UCI Medical Center in Orange. A hospital spokeswoman said Saturday she was incorrectly quoted as saying Statkus was in a coma, noting that hospital officials do not give out that kind of detailed information.

Statkus was shot Thursday morning just after he restocked cash for an automated teller machine in Garden Grove.

Police Lt. John Woods said Wells Fargo Armored Car Services, Statkus’ employer, has offered a $5,000 reward for the third suspect’s capture.

Two suspects were arrested shortly after the shooting at a 7-Eleven store at Chapman Avenue and Magnolia Street. They are being held on $250,000 bail at Orange County Jail.

They are identified as Gilbert Orlandes Green, 22, and Thomas Anthony Chaney, 28, both of Ontario. Chaney was fired a week before the shooting from his job with the same security service.

Woods said police seek Mark Anthony Blount, 25, of Pomona, who was identified by the suspects in jail as the gunman.

He drove away from the shooting in a 1986 black Volkswagen Rabbit GTI registered to Gwendolyn L. Vinson, Blount’s girlfriend.

The suspects, who got no money from Statkus, apparently tried to leave the scene separately--Blount in the Volkswagen, another in the guard’s van and the third in a vehicle police did not describe, police said. But one suspect abandoned Statkus’ van when it stalled.
