Veronica Rizzo-Acevedo, 50, was killed on April 20, 2014, in a domestic murder-suicide at her Garfield Ridge home. She was a Chicago police officer with 18 years on the force. Her husband, Javier Acevedo, a 25-year veteran of the Cook County Sheriff’s Office, shot Rizzo-Acevedo and then turned the gun on himself; both died on Easter Sunday.

Both victims were long-serving law enforcement officers, and their deaths had a profound impact on family and colleagues. The incident has been cited in discussions about domestic violence involving people who work in policing.
