Howard Ellsworth Dallies, Jr.

Master Officer Howard Dallies was shot and killed as he approached a motorcycle he had pulled over at 2:45 am in the 10100 block of Aldgate Avenue.

Without warning, the motorcycle's driver turned and fired six shots at Master Officer Dallies, striking him four times. Officer Dallies died a few hours after being shot.

The suspect was driving a stolen motorcycle with false tags from a similar bike. The suspect was finally arrested in July 1997, but the charges were dropped.

Before joining the Garden Grove Police Department, he had served at least five years with the Orange County Sheriff's Department and the Placentia Police Department. He is survived by his wife and two young sons.

When I was a child our neighbor beat our dog to near death. Officer Dallies was the officer that came to our house . He was very upset at what happened to our dog Duke. He then visited Duke a few times while Duke was healing. Officer Dallies was a beautiful man. He didn't deserve what happened to him. RIP officer Dallies.
