Marshal Ellis was shot and killed after responding to a service station after receiving reports that weapons were inside a car that had been brought in for service by two brothers. When Marshal Ellis arrived at the scene he discovered that the car had been stolen from Kansas. A shootout broke out between the marshal and the two brothers. One of the brothers was wounded by Marshal Ellis, who was then shot in the throat and killed.

Marshal Ellis was survived by his wife and one child.
