Authorities in Worcester, Massachusetts have issued an arrest warrant for Karen Solomon, 58, in connection with the death of Kurt Solomon, a 31-year veteran police officer. The warrant charges Solomon with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon.
Kurt Solomon was discovered dead in the couple’s home early Tuesday, and Karen Solomon was last seen on doorbell camera footage that same morning, walking down a street wearing casual clothing. She had not been located as of Saturday, more than four days after police responded to the initial call at the residence.
Worcester Police Chief Paul Saucier stated that Kurt Solomon sustained fatal injuries from a sharp object but declined to specify which weapon was involved. The chief described Solomon as an excellent officer and person who would be greatly missed. A wake is scheduled for Tuesday, with funeral services planned for Wednesday.
Karen Solomon has worked as a mental health advocate and co-founded First H.E.L.P., an organization dedicated to supporting the psychological and physical well-being of first responders. She has authored two books addressing the experiences of emergency service workers. Court records indicate the couple was married, though authorities have not elaborated on the nature of their relationship, citing domestic violence privacy protections.
Search efforts have continued in the area, with dive teams and police dogs conducting operations around Coes Pond. Public spaces in that vicinity remain closed as the investigation proceeds.
