Officer Crain was shot and killed at approximately 0330 hours while investigating suspicious activity. While on patrol he noticed lights on in a pharmacy on Junius Road. As Officer Crain peered into the window a burglar inside shot him in the head with a .38 caliber handgun. Both suspects inside the store were also responsible for the murder of Officer Johnnie Gibson, using the same handgun, one month earlier in almost identical circumstances. The suspects were both convicted of the murders and executed on March 28, 1924.
