The Colorado Domestic Violence Fatality Review Board is working in partnership with the Denver Metro Domestic Violence Fatality Review team on compiling an annual list of domestic violence related fatalities in Colorado. This information collected is distributed and made available to anyone in our state that has an interest in intimate partner abuse prevention. An earnest attempt is given to compiling the most accurate information possible and in that spirit we welcome (rely on) feed back from law enforcement, prosecution, victim service and any other agencies, or individuals statewide, to help ensure our research is accurate and complete. Thanks to the dedicated professionals who assist us in keeping this tally accurate. Please forward this document to any and all that may have information or knowledge of a domestic violence related death of which we may not be aware.
The number of fatalities compiled may differ from those released by the Colorado Bureau of Investigation due to the fact that all fatalities in the context of domestic violence are counted, including collateral deaths and suicides. There is always the potential to add to any list. If you see information on any list that is inaccurate, please make a call to 720-337-4470 or send an email todenverdvcouncil@gmail.com. If you have knowledge of any fatal incidents in your communities that we have not included and appear to be in the context of intimate partner abuse (domestic violence), please send this form to denverdvcouncil@gmail.com or submit case information online at www.ddvcc.org/fatality-review.
