Summary: |
Special Agent Edwin Shanahan was shot and killed while attempted to arrest a car thief in Chicago, Illinois. The suspect was also wanted for the attempted murder of four Chicago police officers whom he had shot during previous arrest attempts.
Agent Shanahan and other officers received information that the suspect would be taking a stolen car to a garage. The officers setup a stakeout and observed the suspect enter the garage. As Agent Shanahan, who was alone at the time, attempted to arrest the suspect he was shot by the man with an automatic pistol.
On November 2, 1925, the suspect murdered Sergeant Harry Gray, of the Chicago Police Department, as Sergeant Gray attempted to arrest him. The suspect was apprehended and sentenced to 35 years in prison for the murders plus 15 years for the auto theft. The suspect was released from prison in 1954 and died in 1981.
Agent Shanahan had served with the Federal Bureau of Investigation for five years.
