Deputy Maroon attempted to discharge his tear gas gun but only irritated the man, who then continued to beat Deputy Maroon. The prisoner stole Deputy Maroon's gun and fled.
Deputy Maroon was able to chase the prisoner outside where he found the man attempting to steal a police car. As he approached the prisoner, the man shot him once in the abdomen, killing him instantly.

The suspect, age 27, was convicted of Deputy Maroon's murder and sentenced to 10 years to life October 14, 1952. He died in prison April 8, 1954. Prison officials said he died in his sleep and had been ill for quite sometime.
