Patrolman Edward Broadfoot was shot and killed while conducting a check of a cafe at 546 Main Street Saturday February 23, 1918.
The officers had received information that there were bootleggers operating out of the Preferencia cafe. When Patrolman Broadfoot and his partner entered the cafe, they observed three suspicious men seated in the back of the room with a suit case on the floor next to them.
As they approached the men, one man stood and walked towards the exit. Patrolman Broadfoot's partner stopped that suspect and questioned him. Patrolman Broadfoot continued to walk to the remaining two suspects. As he approached, one suspect stood and drew a gun from his belt and opened fire, killing Patrolman Broadfoot.
Patrolman Broadfoot's partner returned fire, killing one suspect before he was wounded, but the other two suspects escaped.
