Ciara Estrada was a famous police officer who went viral for her humanity when she was called to investigate a homeless man. However, her death on 1st January 2018 flew under the radar, failing to make it into the press or attract online attention. Several years later, people want clarity on the circumstances surrounding Estrada’s death.
Ciara Estrada’s family claims the police didn’t investigate her alleged murder
According to a GoFundMe campaign started by Estrada’s kin, she was last seen alive on New Year’s Eve 2017. It claims that she attended a party where she argued with her boyfriend. The post alleges that Estrada left alone at around midnight; concern for her safety sprouted after she failed to turn up for her shift. The authorities found Estrada dead of a single gunshot wound to the head.
The police reportedly ruled Estrada’s death a suicide, an assertion the family disputes. “Our daughter had no suicide ideations, was never depressed or on any medication,” the post reads. The family claims the police failed to consider homicide as the cause of death. They imply that Estrada’s boyfriend, a fellow officer, is a person of interest in the case.
Estrada’s family is asking for help to fund an investigation and a possible legal claim. “CIARA DESERVES TO BE TREATED WITH THE SAME DIGNITY AND RESPECT SHE TREATED OTHERS WITH DURING HER SHORT TIME ON THIS EARTH. WHEN CIARA’S TRUTH COMES OUT, SHE CAN FINALLY REST IN PEACE,” the post concludes.
