The San Francisco Police Department was in mourning Tuesday after a trailblazing police officer and her husband, who also had worked for the department, were found dead along with their daughter in what investigators are calling a “suspected double-murder suicide.”Retired Sgt.Kevin Mannix, 68, fatally shot his wife, Ann Mannix, 64, a retired deputy chief, and their 24-year-old daughter, Katherine Elizabeth Mannix, around 5 p.m.
Sunday before turning the gun on himself, the Marin County Sheriff’s Office said.Police found their bodies after responding to a home in a neighborhood just north of the city following a 911 call from a person “who safely exited the residence.”Investigators have not released a motive for the mayhem and autopsies were scheduled Tuesday for all three individuals.
Meanwhile, the San Francisco PD was trying to absorb the loss.“The tragic loss of retired Deputy Chief Ann Mannix, her daughter Katie, and retired Sergeant Kevin Mannix in a suspected murder-suicide has left our entire SFPD family reeling,” the San Francisco Police Officers Association said in a statement posted online.“There are no words that can fully capture the depth of this tragedy, nor are there simple answers to the painful questions we are all asking.”Kevin Mannix worked for the SFPD for 27 years before retiring from the department in 2018 with the rank of sergeant, according to the department.For SubscribersFOR SUBSCRIBERSHow a conspiracy theory about James Talarico raced through the right-wing internetFOR SUBSCRIBERSThe Data Dive: Steve Kornacki on why 2026 isn’t like 2018FOR SUBSCRIBERSWhy a wave of ‘cockroach’ protesters are defying India’s bid to stamp out their movementFOR SUBSCRIBERSThe American consumer keeps spending.
