Summary: Policeman Kronschnable was shot and killed while attempting to stop a speeding car. Policeman Kronschnable and another officer were sitting on their motorcycles when he observed the car speed by.

The shooter fled to Mexico and was later apprehended in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania for another murder.

After serving 20 years for the second murder, he was arrested 30 seconds after being freed from prison and finally extradited to California. He was tried and convicted for the murder of Policeman Kronschnable. The District Attorney asked for the death penalty, but he was sentenced to life in prison.
