Valerie Ann Gulla Morrow, known as Goya, was 40 when she was shot and killed at her Glenolden, Pennsylvania home on December 15, 2014. She was a wife and mother; survivors named are her husband Thomas W. Morrow Jr., and children Sal Paschall, LCPL Monica M. Rodriguez of the USMC, and Bridgette I. Cruz. Valerie had obtained a Protection from Abuse order against a former romantic partner hours before the attack.

The suspect was Stephen Rozniakowski, described as a former Colwyn police officer who allegedly had a history of stalking and harassment. The night of the shooting he reportedly broke into Valerie’s home wearing a bulletproof vest and carrying a gun and a police radio. He shot Valerie in a second-floor hallway and wounded her 15-year-old daughter. Thomas Morrow, an off-duty Morton police officer, returned fire and struck Rozniakowski; Rozniakowski then called in the incident on his police-issued radio and surrendered.

Rozniakowski was charged with murder, attempted murder, and related counts; his case drew attention to domestic violence and the role of protection orders. If anyone knew Valerie or has information about the events leading up to December 15, 2014, please come forward.
