In a tragic incident, Melvin and a group of Angels arrived at the scene of a burglary at the same time as two Newark policemen. One officer was on the roof of the burglarized building when he saw Melvin below, running toward his partner; he misinterpreted the Angel's intentions as threatening, shouted warnings, and then fired one shot through Melvin's chest.
