Previously, Thomas had sought the position of police chief, but Goodwin was chosen. The night of Goodwin's murder, Thomas accused Goodwin of "letting the town run wide open", to which Goodwin replied that Thomas had just as much authority to correct the situation as Goodwin did. Thomas opened fire, shooting Goodwin in the head three times. One of the bullets penetrated Goodwin's brain, killing him. Officer Joe Earl, Goodwin's brother-in-law, who was with Officer Goodwin, was wounded by three shots from Thomas's gun, and returned fire. Thomas presented himself to the Chickasha police station.

Goodwin was survived by his wife Flora and seven children.
