Jeanne Kane, 58, was fatally shot in a Staten Island parking lot on January 30, 2007. A former member of the 1960s singing group The Kane Triplets, she was a mother and a sister whose life ended in a deliberate act of violence.

Investigators focused on her ex-husband, retired NYPD sergeant John Galtieri. Kane and Galtieri had divorced in 2003 after what was described as a tumultuous and abusive marriage; friends and family reported years of physical abuse. The divorce settlement awarded Kane a significant portion of the couple’s assets and monthly alimony, and prosecutors said bitterness over that financial resolution motivated the killing.

Galtieri was arrested and charged in the days after the shooting. During the trial the history of abuse was detailed, prosecutors argued revenge was the motive, and a jury convicted him of second-degree murder. A judge sentenced Galtieri to 32 years to life.
