Patrolman Timothy Sullivan died of gunshot wounds received at the Haymarket Riot.
Patrolman Sullivan was assigned to the 3rd Precinct. He was survived by his four children.
Eight men were arrested and charged with the officers murders. Seven were convicted of murder and sentenced to death. The other one was sentenced to 15 years. On November 11, 1887, four of them were executed by hanging. The day before one of the suspects killed himself in his cell with a smuggled dynamite cap which he detonated in his mouth.
