Chief Little was shot and killed as he was shopping in a grocery store. A man he had reprimanded earlier in the day for target practicing had ambushed Chief Little and shot him as revenge. The man was apprehended a short time later and sentenced to life in prison, where he later died.

Chief Little was survived by his wife and two daughters.
