He and several other members of the Preventive Enforcement Patrol Squad were investigating a tip that narcotics were in an apartment at the location. While at the scene, two men rode an elevator up to the floor and opened fire when the elevator door opened, striking Patrolman Lord. The other officers returned fire, killing one of the suspects.
