Chief Milton Antone was shot and killed while attempting to arrest a fugitive in Arizona; he arrived at the scene to assist another agency in the investigation of possible child abuse when the suspect pulled an RG-38 on the original officer. Chief Antone exchanged gunfire with the suspect and was fatally wounded by one round. The suspect was fatally wounded by another officer minutes later.
The suspect was believed to be an undocumented illegal resident from Mexico. His name was never confirmed.
Chief Antone had been with the agency for eight years, but had only been Chief for eight months.
