Sergeant Boza was shot and killed as he and several other officers responded to a holdup alarm at a bank across the street from the police station. Sergeant Boza was working the front desk when the call came through and ran across the street with another officer. The lookout at the bank door opened fire on the officers. Both officers were able to return fire. During the exchange Sergeant Boza was struck in the neck. The shooter was shot and killed by the other officer. A second suspect was shot and killed by a bank teller in the bank and two robbers were arrested later.
Sergeant Boza was survived by his wife and three children.
