Detectives say Bailey, 62, had just gotten off work on then Chicago Mayor Richard Daley’s security detail, reports CBS . He was still in uniform as he returned to his home. As he polished the new Buick Regal that he had bought himself as a retirement gift, Carter allegedly approached him with a gun to try to rob Bailey.
Bailey fired several shots of his own, but was shot three times by Carter.
