Deputy Mangold was shot and killed after he and other deputies responded to a store after receiving reports that it was being broken into.

The three fled the store but were all later apprehended.
The shooter was convicted of murder and sentenced to life. On May 16, 1945, he was pardoned by Governor Coke R. Stevenson.
