Roselyn Policarpio, a 47-year-old Filipina last living in Martinez and Stockton, California, was shot to death on April 27, 2017, in Walnut Creek near the Lindsey Wildlife Experience. Her assailant, Gregory Prokopowicz, opened fire while she was walking, and Policarpio died at the scene from multiple gunshot wounds.

Their relationship was described as tumultuous and marked by frequent arguments and abuse. Family members said her final years included physical and emotional abuse by Prokopowicz; a 2007 restraining order filed by his ex-wife alleged similar verbal and physical abuse. After the shooting Prokopowicz fled, was located in Martinez, and was taken into custody following a 19-hour standoff during which he was armed, reportedly under the influence of drugs, and threatened to harm himself. He was charged with homicide.

Does anyone have information about Roselyn’s life in Martinez or Stockton or about the relationship that could help clarify what happened?
