Deputy Gabriel Fish was shot and killed while attempting to arrest a bank robbery suspect. During the arrest the suspect was able to gain control of Deputy Fish's revolver and shot him in the chest twice.
The suspect was later apprehended and initially sentenced to death. The sentence was commuted to life when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the death penalty was unconstitutional.
