Patrolman Michael D. Love, 28, of the Rochester Borough Police Department in Pennsylvania, was shot and killed on February 8, 1992. He was off duty and at a restaurant at 523 Virginia Avenue when a man who had been stalking his estranged wife entered and fatally shot her. Hearing the gunshot, Patrolman Love attempted to intervene and was himself shot and killed during the encounter.
The suspect was apprehended and later sentenced to death; he remained on death row until his death in prison in March 2012. Patrolman Love had served with the Rochester Township Police Department for nine years and was survived by his parents, a sister, and two brothers. His death was publicly noted as an act of bravery by fellow officers, family, and the community.
If anyone was at or near the restaurant on February 8, 1992, or has information about Patrolman Love that could help preserve his memory, please share what is known.
