Patrolman Moranz succumbed to gunshot wounds received two days earlier while investigating a suspicious man near Prospect Avenue and Ontario Avenue on his downtown beat. As he approached the man in an alley another man attacked him from behind, took his service revolver, and shot him with it. After an investigation a suspect was finally convicted and sentenced to life in prison for Patrolman Moranz's murder.
