Speak My Name is an annual project of ZeroV, Kentucky’s state coalition of domestic violence programs. Fifteen of the names spoken were killed by gun violence.

As of July 2023, per KRS 209A.122, the Kentucky Justice and Public Safety Cabinet has produced the first annual DV Data Report. This anonymized data about intimate partner homicides for the calendar year 2022, as reported by KSP and the Administrative Office of the Courts.

ZeroV will continue the tradition of humanizing and honoring the memory of those Kentuckians who lost their lives to a partner or ex-partner through this less formal Speak My Name list. ZeroV attempts to track domestic violence-related homicides in Kentucky through various sources such as reports from our member programs, news articles, and internet searches.

It is a far from perfect method. Please be aware that most reports come at the beginning of the law enforcement/court process, at which point an individual has been charged with homicide. We make no representation of the outcome of these cases or whether the charged individual is found guilty of criminal activity.
