Police named the victims as U.S. Bank employees Breanna Edwards, 35, and Brian Switzer, 42, after the suspect crashed into a tree in Fayette County.
The suspect fled after the Berea robbery, was later spotted in a vehicle, and escaped on foot after a chase; searches centred near Bryan Station and Johnston roads in Lexington.
