Officers Richard Boles and David Strzalkowski were shot and killed after responding to a call in the Aventura area.
The call turned out to be bogus, called in by a paroled felon. When they located the complainant, the man began to struggle with them and gained control of Officer Boles' service weapon. He opened fire, fatally wounding both officers.
During the struggle, the officers were able to put out a distress call and the responding officers arrested the suspect, who had been paroled less then one year earlier.
Officer Boles is survived by his wife, son, and daughter.
