Patrolman Charles Fenton succumbed to gunshot wounds received two days earlier while attempting to arrest three armed robbery suspects. Patrolman Fenton was ambushed by the three men and shot. He was taken to St. Luke's Hospital where he later succumbed to his wounds. It is believed that the three suspects were arrested in Ohio several months later.
