Patrolman George H. Helstern and his partner, Officer Charles Brady, approached a suspicious male on a corner. As the officers approached, the man drew a revolver and fired several shots.

In December 1945 the killer was shot and killed by members of his own gang in fear that he would turn in other gang members.
