STATEN ISLAND, N.Y.Jan 27 2011 — Police are eyeing suicide as a possible cause in the shooting death of a retired police officer in Huguenot early this morning.
Cops today responded to the Stafford Avenue home of Louis DeCicco, 54, to find him shot dead in the basement. According to police and law enforcement sources, the gunshot looks to be self-inflicted, though a spokeswoman for the city Medical Examiner’s office said today that an autopsy would be performed tomorrow.
DeCicco, a 20-year veteran of the NYPD, retired in 2005, according to police officials.
Police and emergency vehicles swarmed the block at about 7 a.m., said one neighbor, who declined to give her name.
By 10:30 a.m., detectives, NYPD cruisers and personnel from the Medical Examiner’s office were still on the scene.
Advance records show both DeCicco and his wife, Kimberly, were officers in the NYPD’s 5th Precinct when they married in 1998.
