This list serves as a memorial to the victims of domestic violence and their surviving families. It also shows the deadly impact domestic violence has here in North Carolina. We thank the media, advocates, allies, and surviving family members who help us with this project. To inform NCCADV of a death that is the result of intimate partner violence but is not listed, please email us at dvhomicides@nccadv.org.
We hope that by raising awareness of the deadliness of this crime that legislators and other policy makers with the power to strengthen protections for victims will be educated about the lethality of domestic violence and moved to enact protections so that others will be saved.
Currently NCCADV tracks deaths which are a result of intimate partner violence. Our annual list honoring victims includes both victims killed directly by their current or former intimate partner as well third parties who are killed as a result of intimate partner violence. Intimate partners include both same-sex and opposite sex intimate partners.
