Agent Bostick was shot and killed in Gulfport, Mississippi, while conducting surveillance on the North Yard. During the surveillance Agent Bostick interrupted several suspects breaking into a boxcar. When he confronted them he was attacked and shot five times; twice in the arm and three times in the back of the head.
The suspects then stole all of his personal items, including his gun and badge, and moved his body over 150 yards in an attempt to hide it under straw. His body was not located until early the next morning after his wife called the train yard to inquire on his whereabouts.
Agent Bostick was survived by his wife.
