Summary
Worcester authorities pushed the search for Karen Solomon into another day Saturday and shut five recreation areas for the weekend as they warned the public not to approach her.
An arrest warrant issued Wednesday charges Solomon with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon causing serious bodily injury after Patrolman Kurt Solomon, 57, was found dead Tuesday following a domestic incident.
District Attorney Joseph Early Jr. said investigators will keep searching until she is found; police said Solomon was last seen in pajama shorts and a tank top and is considered armed and dangerous.
Mayor Joseph Petty mourned Kurt Solomon, a 31-year Worcester police veteran, while First H.E.L.P., the first-responder mental health nonprofit Karen Solomon helped found, said it remains committed to its mission.
A wake for Kurt Solomon is scheduled for Tuesday and his funeral for Wednesday as the city continues seeking tips by text and relocating a Coes Pond Beach event.
