Liquor Inspector Moreno was shot after he and his partner responded to a bar in Gallup, New Mexico, to question the owner. While inside the bar Inspector Moreno noticed some men around his vehicle and he exited the bar to investigate.
When he approached the suspects he was assaulted and the suspects gained control of his gun and shot him. Inspector Moreno survived his wounds initially, but on July 13, 1975, he died of complications from the assault and gunshot wound. Both suspects were arrested at the scene.
Inspector Moreno was survived by his wife and six children.
