DENVER — There were 94 deaths, including six children, in 62 cases of domestic violence last year, according to the 2022 Colorado Domestic Violence Fatality Report.
“We've seen cases where a victim's mother, father, brother, or best friend tries to help them leave new partners and are also killed in an incident,” said Abrams. “That really speaks to the fact that domestic violence is absolutely an issue that affects our community.” Although Rose Andom is not a shelter, the center provides a variety of resources for survivors of domestic abuse and the families of victims. Their facility in Denver has playrooms for children, legal consultation rooms and work rooms for parents.
“We don't spend half the year doing this work for people to read this and kind of gawk at the numbers and be like, ‘Wow, domestic violence is bad.’ We know it’s bad,” said Sarpong. “We want people to be able to take this report, and implement action with it.”Attorney General Phil Weiser said the proposals are targeted at several numbers outlined in the report. Eighty-six percent of deaths were from gunshot wounds, which Weiser said could be due to poor gun relinquishment policies.
