NORTH RICHLAND HILLS (KRLD-AM) – The department has been looking for a man who shot Traffic Officer Jeff Garner back in March of 2003.

While an investigation has not established an identity of the gunman, it revealed that he not only robbed a bank in Watauga just prior to the shooting, he also robbed at least six other banks in Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas.

“We consider it a cold case, but we do not consider it an unsolvable case,” says Detective Keith Bauman.
