Each year we speak the names of those killed by current or former intimate partners in Kentucky. 

We speak their names to remember lives taken, call for an end to the abuse, and recommit ourselves to the mission. Please join us by speaking these names aloud or taking a moment in your day to listen in memorial.

Victims Unknown

Speak My Name is an annual project of ZeroV, Kentucky’s state coalition of domestic violence programs. Of the 29 named victims, 18 were killed with a gun. The youngest victim this year was a teenager, and the oldest was age 83. We hold the victims’ children, family, and friends who loved them in our hearts.

Speak My Name includes the names of those killed by current or former intimate parters in Kentucky between September 1 of the previous year and August 31 of the current year. As of July 2023, per KRS 209A.122, the KY Justice and Public Safety Cabinet started producing an annual Domestic Violence Report containing anonymized data about intimate partner homicides from the previous calendar year. 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. The method is far from perfect. 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.
