Diane Pulley Crowder, 53, was shot and killed on July 2, 2022, in Henrico, Virginia, as she was leaving an abusive situation. Known as Cissy to her family, she worked for years as a hairdresser and personal caregiver and was a mother. She and her 35-year-old daughter, Carrie Lynn Szaksz, were preparing to depart with movers when Diane’s husband, 60-year-old retired Henrico County police officer Richard Colon Crowder, opened fire. Both women were fatally wounded; the movers upstairs escaped by jumping from a second-story window.

After the shooting, Richard Crowder barricaded himself in the house and a nine-hour standoff with law enforcement followed. He surrendered and was taken into custody; police found the two victims inside the residence. A conviction and sentence followed for the person charged in the deaths.
