A retired San Francisco police sergeant shot and killed his wife and their youngest daughter inside their Marin County home before taking his own life, according to reporting by KTVU reporter Bettina Yu. The killings took place on Strawberry Circle near Mill Valley, in what authorities are treating as a murder-suicide.
The former sergeant was identified as Kevin Mannix, 68. His wife was Ann Mannix, 65, a retired deputy chief with the San Francisco Police Department, and the couple's youngest daughter was 24-year-old Katie Mannix.
Both Kevin and Ann Mannix spent long careers in law enforcement, and Ann Mannix rose into the department's upper management as deputy chief before her retirement. The family's law enforcement background adds a notable dimension to a case that has shaken the quiet neighborhood where they lived.
The Marin County Sheriff's Office is leading the investigation into the deaths. Authorities have not announced a motive, which remains under investigation, and no additional details about the circumstances inside the home have been released.
The case remains active as investigators continue to examine what led to the shootings. Further updates are expected from the Marin County Sheriff's Office as the inquiry proceeds.
