Daughter of slain NYPD officer fights legal loophole for hero mom’s pension

By Barbara Russo-Lennon Posted on October 29, 2024

The daughter of a slain NYPD officer is in a legal battle with the City of New York — the city her mother died to protect.

Genesis Villella of Riverdale was just 20 years old and a student at Falmouth University in England when her mother, Miosotis Familia, 48, was shot and killed execution-style as she worked a command post in the Bronx on July 5, 2017. The 12-year veteran cop left behind Villella, as well as twins, Peter and Delilah, aged 12, at the time of her death.
