A wrongful death lawsuit has been filed against Karen Read, the Massachusetts woman accused of killing her police officer boyfriend in January 2022. The lawsuit was filed by the family of the victim, late Boston Police officer John O’Keefe, with Paul O’Keefe, the victim's brother, representing the family in Plymouth Superior Court.
The lawsuit also names the two bars where the couple consumed drinks before the tragic incident occurred. O’Keefe's body was found in a snowbank outside a Canton home, and prosecutors alleged that Read purposely backed into him with her SUV during a heated argument while under the influence of alcohol.
