111Bruno D. Soboleski • April 12th 1991


Sgt. Bruno Soboleski was riding patrol in the 6600 block of Calhoun on April 7, 1991. A female grand juror was accompanying Sgt. Soboleski as a ride-along observer. Sgt. Soboleski noticed two males standing in the intersection of Calhoun and Hull Streets and initiated an investigation. Sgt. Soboleski completed a pat down of one suspect, but as he began patting down the second suspect, Shelton Jones, drew a weapon and shot Sgt. Soboleski in the chest three times. Before fleeing the scene, Jones also fired at the grand juror who was still in the patrol vehicle. In addition, a third suspect fired at Sgt. Soboleski as he lay on the ground, mortally wounded. Sgt. Soboleski was transported to Hermann Hospital where he remained for five days until he succumbed to his injuries. The suspects were apprehended shortly after the incident. Shelton Jones was convicted of Capital Murder and received a sentence of death by lethal injection.
