Officer Mellert was killed while executing an arrest warrant for failure to appear on a traffic violation charge. The arrestee had not resisted, but his father was enraged and as Mellert and the suspect left, the father opened a window and shot the patrolman in the back, killing him.

Officer Mellert was survived by his expectant wife, who had a daughter on New Year's Eve.
