Without warning, the motorcycle's driver turned and fired six shots at Master Officer Dallies, striking him four times. Officer Dallies died a few hours after being shot.
The suspect was driving a stolen motorcycle with false tags from a similar bike. The suspect was finally arrested in July 1997 but the charges were dropped.

Most Recent Reflection
View all 37 ReflectionsI was a dispatcher for Placentia PD in the 80’s and worked with Howard. He was truly a cops cop. He was smart, calm, hard working and compassionate. When someone needed a back up, they wanted Howard. It’s funny how you remember small details - when Howard took C-7 I always knew he would be out at “The Whole Enchilada”! His favorite!
I’m proud to say Howard was also my friend. Our PD was small and more like family. We shared joyous occasions and sad occasions. Howard was a good friend and always willing to listen. Here it has been 27 years since his death and even longer since we worked together but I still think of him often and fondly. Rest easy my friend.
