Sheffield, a three-year police veteran, was fatally injured in a car accident Aug. 21 while responding to a call from an officer who needed help in West Baltimore. Her police cruiser was struck by an unmarked police car responding to the same call. Sheffield, 35, is the city's first female police officer to die in the line of duty.

She is survived by her husband, Lt. William A. Sheffield of the city Fire Department, an 11-year-old son and a family that includes many police officers.
