Officer Berrey was killed while attempting to arrest a suspect on an outstanding burglary warrant. The suspect fled as Officer Berrey and another officer approached him, drawing a pistol and firing behind him as he did so. Officer Berrey was struck once, but managed to return fire. He succumbed to his wound an hour later at a local hospital.

The suspect escaped, but was located hours later at a local home. As police attempted to arrest him, a scuffle broke out, and the suspect was fatally shot by officers.

Officer Berrey was survived by his wife and child.
