He and is partner had gone to the home to interview a man about the burglary of a nearby saloon. When the subject answered the door and saw the officers he immediately fled to the third floor of the home, with both officers in pursuit. They took the man into custody and transported him to the police station for further questioning.
Once they arrived at the station Officer Maroni complained of chest pains. He was transported to Graduate Hospital where he passed away a short time later.
Officer Maroni had served with the Philadelphia Police Department for 11-1/2 years and was assigned to the 17th District. He was survived by his wife, son, two daughters, and two brothers. Both of his brothers also served with the Philadelphia Police Department.
