Prosecutors alleged Read hit her boyfriend, John O'Keefe, with her car outside another officer's home in January 2022 and then left him to die there during a blizzard.

Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe, his girlfriend Karen Read and a group of other friends, including fellow officers, went out drinking at C.F. McCarthy's bar in Canton, Massachusetts at around 9 p.m. A major snowstorm had begun.

Massachusetts State Police Col. Geoffrey Noble said that in the aftermath of the Karen Read case, the department will continue to work on improvements in oversight and accountability.
