On the morning of April 12, 2014, 65-year-old Carolann Matyka was shot and killed during a domestic dispute at her Queens, New York home. Her Yorkshire terrier, Jack, was also wounded and taken to an animal hospital; the dog was reported to be in stable condition and recovering.

The assailant was identified as Matyka’s father, 86-year-old Jack Calvello. Calvello called 911 shortly after 11:15 a.m. to confess to shooting his daughter and the dog. When officers arrived he reportedly armed himself with a shotgun and aimed it at them. Responding officers fired, fatally wounding Calvello at the scene. Matyka was pronounced dead from the gunshot wounds her father inflicted.

No arrest or trial followed because the sole suspect died at the scene. Does anyone have further details about the family or the circumstances leading up to that day?
