On May 13, 1982, Riverside police officers Philip N. Trust, 36, and Dennis C. Doty, 35, were killed during an attempt to serve an arrest warrant on Jackson Chambers Daniels Jr. The officers, both 10-year veterans assigned to warrant detail and working in plain clothes, went to an address on Wolfe Street around 8:30 a.m. after receiving information Daniels was there. A gun battle erupted; both officers died and Daniels, though wounded, escaped and remained at large for about 60 hours before his arrest in Rubidoux, California.

Philip Trust is survived by his wife, Rhonda, and four children. Dennis Doty is survived by his parents and two sisters. The killings had a lasting impact on the Riverside community; the two officers are commemorated locally and memorials honor their service. Does anyone have memories of the officers, the Wolfe Street scene, or information from that week in May 1982 that could add detail to the record?
