Patrolman Koella succumbed to gunshot wounds sustained almost two weeks earlier during a running shootout with a suspect. The suspect was arrested, sentenced to death, and hanged on April 7, 1936. The suspect's hanging was the last legal hanging in Connecticut before the state switched to electrocution.
