Officer Wells was shot and killed while investigating several suspicious men who were loitering. Officer Wells stopped the man and started to search them when one of the suspects took off running. Officer Wells gave chase when the suspects just stopped running and turned around as to give up. Instead he drew a gun and shot and killed Officer Wells.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 94th anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer who was murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Time never diminishes respect. Your memory will always be honored and revered.

Rest In Peace.
