San Francisco mourns slain former SFPD deputy chief Ann Mannix and daughter

San Francisco is mourning the loss of Ann Mannix, a pioneering former deputy chief of the San Francisco Police Department, and her daughter Katie, who were both killed in a family shooting on October 11, 2026, according to Mission Local.

Ann Mannix was notable for being the first woman on the SFPD special operations team and the first woman to lead that unit as deputy chief. Her brother, former SFPD Commander Richard Correia, spoke at a memorial service held at Saint Ignatius Church, where hundreds gathered to honor the pair.

The tragic incident occurred in their family home outside Mill Valley, when Kevin Mannix Sr., a retired SFPD sergeant and husband to Ann Mannix, shot both women before taking his own life, Mission Local reported.

The memorial service featured a procession of police cars escorting the hearse to the church, where Ann Mannix’s coffin was draped in American flags and carried by uniformed officers. Bagpipes played as mourners paid their respects to the family.

The community and police department are remembering Ann and Katie Mannix as kind individuals taken too soon, with many reflecting on Ann Mannix’s contributions to law enforcement and her family’s loss.
