Filicide
Filicide is a legal term for a parent (or guardian?) murdering their child. The word is more generally used in the disability community to describe any person murdering a relative because of that relative's disability.
If you are searching for ways to help prevent the filicide, to learn more about how to talk about it, or information on how to hold a vigil for a victim, please consult this Anti-Filicide Toolkit, created by the Autistic Self-Advocacy Network (ASAN).
