A New York City police officer was found shot to death early Saturday in the Bay Shore home she shared with her police officer fiance, according to Suffolk police.

Sonia Garcia, a mother and four-year veteran of the NYPD, was killed by a single gunshot to the chest sometime before 6 a.m. when Suffolk police responded to a 911 call. That call, police said, was made by Garcia's fiance, identified by NYPD sources as Alexis Chaparro, an NYPD academy teacher.

"He said he heard a shot and found his wife dead from a single gunshot wound," said Det. Lt. Jack Fitzpatrick of the Suffolk homicide squad. Garcia's body was found in a bedroom of the single-story house, and the couple were alone when Garcia died.
