On August 30, 1973 Philip C. Yourman was killed during an automobile accident. Officer Philip C. Yourman and Officer Byron W. Riley were partners on the afternoon shift.
They responded to a purse snatching at the Hollywood Fashion Center, a mall previously located at Hollywood Blvd. and 441. They soon spotted the suspect vehicle and a chase into Lawn Acres followed.
While attempting to navigate the winding roads, the vehicle spun out of control and struck a tree. Both Officers were killed in the crash. We will never forget Officer Yourman.
