Officer Robert Fike was shot and killed by a suspect while standing next to his patrol car at 1111 East Indian School Road. Two citizens found him after the shooting and used his radio to call for help. A suspect, who had committed an armed robbery just before Officer Fike's murder, was arrested seven weeks later and charged with murder and armed robbery.

The suspect, 21, was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life. On October 16, 2022, he was in prison.
