A Bronx mother of three and an NYPD officer made the ultimate sacrifice for the city she protected and loved so much. But now, her oldest daughter says the city and state are forgetting her story — and she is continuing her fight to change that.
Genesis Villella, 28, misses her mother, Det. Miosotis Familia, every day. The pain has persisted ever since the 12-year veteran officer was shot and killed execution-style as she worked a command post in the Bronx on July 5, 2017. A single parent, 48-year-old Familia left behind Villella, as well as twins, Peter and Delilah, aged 12, at the time of her death.
