Officer William Wong and Officer Arthur Soo Hoo were killed when their police car was struck by a vehicle driven at approximately 85 mph. The occupants in the vehicle were fleeing from a drug deal gone bad. The vehicle ran a red light at the intersection of North Broadway and College Streets and struck the patrol car the officers were in.

Both suspects fled to Mexico where they were arrested by Mexican authorities but released because of the violent drug cartel to which they belonged. The suspects remain at large.
