Federal Prohibition Agent George Dykeman was accidentally shot and killed with his own weapon while chasing a prisoner following a beer raid in West New York, New Jersey. After arresting two men one of them attempted to flee.

As Agent Dykeman chased him through an alley he attempted to pull his gun out of his holster but dropped it. When the holstered gun hit the ground it discharged and struck Agent Dykeman in the abdomen. The suspect was recaptured.

Agent Dykeman was a WWI veteran and was survived by his wife.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 85th anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Time never dimishes respect, not even 85 years. I also thank you for your military service to our country in WWI.

Rest In Peace
