Overview
- Officers discovered an off-duty Worcester patrolman dead inside a Wildwood Avenue home during an early-morning response on Tuesday and the death is being treated as a domestic incident.
- Authorities identified 58-year-old Karen Solomon as a person of interest and said she is believed to be armed and dangerous and should not be approached.
- Local, state and federal units including Massachusetts State Police, U.S. Marshals, Customs and Border Protection, Homeland Security and the FBI are assisting in the ongoing search.
- The New England Police Benevolent Association named the 57-year-old victim as Kurt Solomon, a 31-year department veteran, while investigators have not released a cause of death because the probe is active.
- Karen Solomon co-founded First H.E.L.P., a nonprofit for first-responder mental health, and officials say domestic-violence rules limit what they can disclose about the relationship and details of the investigation.
