A California man has been arrested in connection with the 1997 killing<\/a> of a bank teller during a robbery.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Kevin Ray James, 55, a San Bernardino resident, was taken into police custody following a joint investigation between the Ventura County Sheriff\u2019s Office, Ventura County District Attorney’s Office and the FBI, FOX Los Angeles<\/a> reported.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He is accused of killing Monica Leech, who worked as a teller at the Western Financial Bank in Thousand Oaks during the deadly April 28, 1997 heist.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At the time, two men dressed as construction workers help up the bank. During the robbery, Leech was handcuffed and shot in the back of the head<\/a>. She died at the scene.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Both suspects fled in a 1994 Ford Explorer before crashing near the crime scene and leaving on foot. Over the years, investigators have been using traces of DNA left on the handcuffs and other evidence from the scene to create new DNA profiles<\/a> for the suspects.<\/p>\n
