Officer Nerison was shot and killed while he and three other officers attempted to arrest two brothers who were robbing the Alhambra Theatre and attempting to blow the safe. The suspects escaped through a side door as they held the officers off with blasts from their sawed-off shotguns. The suspects had just robbed two other theatres and had stolen a total of $2,500. The suspects also shot and wounded a Los Angeles detective during one of the other robberies.
The suspects were captured eleven days later when police found them hiding in a house in Holtville.
