Overview
- Police discovered an off‑duty Worcester officer dead inside a Wildwood Avenue home and began an investigation after a 911 medical call on Tuesday.
- The officer was later identified by union sources as Kurt Solomon, a 31‑year department veteran who is mourned by colleagues and family.
- Authorities have named 58‑year‑old Karen Solomon as a person they want for questioning and say she is believed to be armed and dangerous.
- Worcester police released early‑morning surveillance video showing Karen Solomon walking near Coes Pond and expanded a multi‑agency search that has used helicopters, dogs, boats, U.S. Marshals and other federal partners.
- Investigators have not released the officer’s cause or manner of death because of active investigative work and domestic‑violence rules, and next developments to watch are whether charges are filed and where the search leads.
