Shayne McKee, 42, Sentenced to 12 Years in Prison for Credit Union Robbery

Shayne McKee, a 42-year-old man, was sentenced to 12 years in prison for his role in the 2018 credit union robbery in Jennings, Missouri.

On May 5, 2018, McKee and an accomplice entered the St. Louis Community Credit Union at 7345 West Florissant Avenue in Jennings, wearing masks. McKee announced a robbery, pulled a gun on bank employees, and demanded money.

McKee’s DNA was linked to the crime, and when he was arrested on Sept. 4, 2019, he had a loaded .45-caliber Glock pistol in his backpack. As a felon, McKee was barred from possessing a firearm.

U.S. District Judge Henry E. Autrey handed down the 12-year sentence on Thursday, after McKee pleaded guilty to robbery, brandishing a firearm during a crime of violence, and being a felon in possession of a firearm in June.

The FBI and the Saint Louis County Police investigated the case, and Assistant U.S. Attorneys Don Boyce and Cassandra Wiemken prosecuted the case. McKee’s accomplice has not been named in the investigation.

The sentencing marks a significant conclusion to the case, which has been ongoing since the robbery in 2018. McKee’s 12-year sentence reflects the severity of the crime and the need for accountability in such cases.

As the case comes to a close, the community can rest a little easier knowing that justice has been served. The Grimy Times will continue to follow this story and provide updates as necessary.
