A Bronx woman received a crushing blow after state lawmakers refused to act on legislation this week that would have granted her access to the pension of her late mother, a slain NYPD cop.
Det. Miosotis Familia was shot and killed execution-style as she worked an NYPD command post in the Bronx on July 5, 2017. Since then, her daughter, Genesis Villella, 28, legally adopted her two younger siblings, as Familia was a single mother, and took on full parenting responsibilities.
