Read a statement from the fiance of Shrewsbury father shot and killed after walking son to school

"My name is Sarah Schofield. Kevin Doherty was my fiancé and on August 28th, he was shot and killed after walking our six-year-old son to his second day of school. The saying is true, there are no words that can fully capture the overwhelming pain and grief that we are experiencing. By now many of you know, Kevin and I were set to be married on September 20th."

"No one should ever endure the trauma of canceling wedding arrangements only to make funeral ones. This loss, and the fractures it created are so severe it makes healing seem impossible. Although this tragedy has created a permanent before and after mark in our lives, what will never be difficult is remembering Kevin. He was the love of my life. He was the most amazing father to our son and his two daughters."

Kevin Doherty, 56, was shot on a bridge at Jordan Pond on Aug. 28 after walking his six-year-old son to Calvin Coolidge Elementary School. The alleged shooter, Snehal A. Srivastava, 26, had been spray painting graffiti on the sidewalk when the confrontation occurred. Doherty was on the phone with a police dispatcher when he was shot, suffered multiple gunshot wounds, and died at a local hospital. His fiancée, Sarah Schofield, described him as a loving partner and father who enjoyed sports and worked hard to provide for his family. The Shrewsbury community is organizing a vigil and fundraiser on Oct. 11 at SAC Park in his honor.
