Inspector McCalib remained in the patrol car with the suspect. While in the car the man produced a concealed pistol and shot Inspector McCalib in the back of the head. The other inspector then shot the subject three times in a gun battle.
The subject committed suicide in the Jim Wells County jail on February 7, 1930.
Inspector McCalib had served with the United States Border Patrol for one year. He was survived by his 3-year-old son, mother, five brothers, and two sisters. He was buried in the Masonic Section of the Laredo City Cemetery in Webb County.
