On the evening of January 17, 1933, Dr. Dull called the Randels home to ask for eggs and milk, but Randels refused to give him the amount he asked for, causing Dull to become enraged and shout at Randels over the phone, "I'll get you." Later that evening, around 6:30 p.m., Proc and Ione Randels went to the Dull house to help care for Junior Dull, Ione's 12-year-old brother, who was ill. They brought two eggs with them, which displeased Dr. Dull, who then suddenly shot Randels in the back in the presence of his young nephew. Randels attempted to defend himself by pushing Dull into a chair, which caused the revolver to go off again and shoot Randels in the chest. He pled not guilty to the charge of first-degree murder, and was charged with second-degree murder and initially sentenced to 20 years in prison. However, given Dull's history of poorly controlled emotional outbursts that had affected his dentistry career and family life, he was later declared insane and moved to the Utah State Mental Hospital. He died there in 1934, after about a year at the hospital.
