At Rest

Deadly force
A 40-year-old NYPD officer fatally shot his 18-year-old girlfriend Fontanez five times and then shot himself to death. It later emerged that the two may have been conducting an illegal check-cashing scheme that brought in at least $40,000.
This record exists so that Shirley Fontanez, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
