The suspect told police he shot the officers because he did not want to go back to prison for carrying a stolen pistol. He was convicted of first degree murder and executed in the gas chamber on May 13, 1960.
Every day, the members of the LAPD put their lives on the line. We remember and honor the officers who have gone above and beyond the call of duty who have lost their lives while serving the people of the City of Los Angeles.
