Please join The Greene Turtle Hampton on February 16, 2020, as they host a fundraising event for fallen police officer Katie Thyne and her 2 year-old daughter.
Our community mourns the death of Katie Thyne. On January 23, 2020, just prior to 7pm, one of Newport News Police officers, Katie Thyne, was dragged by a seven-time felon and killing her by crashing into a tree with her stuck in the door.
Katie Thyne was a 24-year-old mother to a beautiful two-year old, Raegan. She was a member of our Police Department and was only on the street for less than 4 months after being released from Field Training.
Katie was also a member of our US Military and in the Navy. She was still currently in the Navy Reserves. Katie worked with our local Boys and Girls Club as a basketball coach and was smiling 24/7.
Her fiance and her just got engaged less than 6 days prior in Las Vegas on a softball trip prior to her being murdered. For Newport News Police, this was our first line of duty death in 25 years. Katie was a young, bright, up and coming role model to our department.
Please join The Greene Turtle in Hampton where she frequently visited for Funds for Friends.
