Master Officer Howard Dallies was shot and killed as he approached a motorcycle he had pulled over at 2:45 am in the 10100 block of Aldgate Avenue.
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.

View all 41 ReflectionsWhen I was a child our neighbor beat our dog to near death. Officer Dallies was the officer that came to our house . He was very upset at what happened to our dog Duke. He then visited Duke a few times while Duke was healing. Officer Dallies was a beautiful man. He didn't deserve what happened to him. RIP officer Dallies.
