NEW ORLEANS- Five people face federal criminal charges in the shooting death of an armored car guard nearly four years ago during a robbery at a bank in New Orleans' Carrollton neighborhood.

  

Loomis armored car guard Hector Trochez was killed Dec. 13, 2013, while making a cash delivery. On Monday, Acting U.S. Attorney Duane Evans' office announced the unsealed indictments of five men in Trochez's death. A woman described as a girlfriend of one of the suspects is charged with obstruction of a grand jury proceeding.

  

The men face a possible death sentence if convicted. They are identified as 28-year-old Lilbear George; 31-year-old Jeremy Esteves; 25-year-old Curtis Johnson Jr.; 30-year-old Chukwudi Ofomata; and 24-year-old Robert Brumfield - all of New Orleans. Records indicate all but Brumfield are in custody and awaiting hearings.
