He was ambushed by the three men and shot. He was taken to St. Luke's Hospital where he later succumbed to his wounds.

Two weeks later all three were convicted of robbery and sentenced to 12 years in prison.
Patrolman Fenton had served with the Bethlehem Police Department for four years. He was survived by his wife, two sons, parents and nine siblings.
