  • Greetings from the Denver Metro Domestic Violence Fatality Review,

    As you likely know we compile an annual list of domestic violence related fatalities in Colorado. This information is distributed and available to every person in our state that has an interest in domestic violence prevention. We give due diligence to compiling the most accurate information possible and we welcome feedback from law enforcement, prosecution, victim service and any other agencies, or individuals, statewide to help ensure our research is accurate and complete. Our numbers may differ from those released by the Colorado Bureau of Investigation due to the fact that we count all fatalities in the context of domestic violence, including collateral deaths and suicides. As is always the case, we continue to track domestic violence related fatalities that occurred in the current and prior years in Colorado and we appreciate your assistance in this process.

    Don’t hesitate to contact us with questions, suggestions, etc. – 720-337-4470 or via email denverdvcouncil@gmail.com.

  • Fatality: The death of any person resulting from an incident determined to be an act of, or in the context of domestic violence or intimate partner abuse.

    Murder: The death of one person resulting from the deliberate actions of another person in the context of an intimate partner relationship.

    Murder/Suicide: An event resulting in the death of a person from the deliberate actions of another person who subsequently takes their own life, in the context of a current or former intimate partner relationship

    Suicide: The death of a person who takes their own life in the context of intimate partner abuse/domestic violence (ex., abusive partner takes their own life in front of non-abusive partner during an argument or with the intention of the non-abusive partner discovering them. This could also include cases where a victim takes their own life to escape abuse.)

    Collateral Death: The death of a person, other than the person with whom the perpetrator was involved in an intimate relationship, which occurred in the context of domestic violence.

    Near Death: An injury to a person at the hands of an intimate partner whereby that injury could likely result in the death of that person.
