Constable Broome was beaten to death while guarding a pump house at Oak Cliff Cemetery. He had been appointed by the Constable to guard the facility after it had been broken into seven times over the previous ten days. When the Constable returned at 0425 to pick up Special Constable Broome he found that he had been assaulted and beaten to death with a car crank and wrench. Two suspects were apprehended for his murder and admitted to killing him when they were caught breaking into the pump house. One was sentenced to 99 years and the other was sentenced to life.
