"Friends Say Years of Abuse led Woman to Shoot Boyfriend"
http://www.wcnc.com/news/crime/Man-shot-in-the-face-dies-118420859.html
The Domestic Violence Advocacy Council is inviting the public to march on the Square in Uptown Charlotte in response to the most recent domestic violence related homicide in Mecklenburg County.
Traci Annette Bell, 24, was charged in the death of Andrew Alan Nichols, who was shot in the face. Police found his body in the yard of a house at Morningside and Mack streets, off Mount Holly Road. Bell is being held without bond in the Mecklenburg County jail.
The victim, Nichols, had pleaded guilty three months ago to assaulting Bell and was placed on probation. He also had a conviction for domestic battery in Florida.
The march is intended to broaden the public’s awareness that help is available, including programs and services offering safety planning. This is not a memorial.
When: 12:15 p.m. to 1 p.m., Thursday, March 31, 2011
Where: On the Square at Trade and Tryon streets, Charlotte, N.C.
Free parking is available at the Hal Marshall County Services Center, 700 N. Tryon St. A free trolley runs the length of Tryon Street every seven minutes and from the Government offices on 4th St.
This is the first Mecklenburg County domestic violence-related homicide of 2011. Last year there were a total of nine people killed at the hands of their intimate partner or due to domestic violence.
The Domestic Violence Advocacy Council organizes awareness marches the Thursday following the determination that a death in Mecklenburg County was due to domestic violence. The council includes: victim advocates, child advocates, housing advocates, mental health professionals, police, prosecutors, courts, substance abuse providers, education professionals, medical professionals, batterers' intervention programs, shelters, animal control, legislators, colleges, local companies, local churches, survivors, and interested community members.
For more information on the effects of domestic violence in our community, call Mecklenburg County’s Community Support Services Women’s Commission at 704-336-3210 or the Shelter for Battered Women’s 24-hour hotline at 704-332-2513.

I think I have a lot of people to pray for.
