Comment on Fatal Incident of Family Violence

The Collaborative Commission on Domestic Violence expresses its sympathy and support.

SAN ANTONIO (May 15, 2026) – The Collaborative Commission on Domestic Violence (CCDV) expresses its sympathy and support for family members affected by the deaths of two children due to family violence in our community on May 15, 2026. These events remind us that family violence impacts everyone. The solutions are not simple because the circumstances are often complex, especially when mental health support is needed. 

The CCDV was established to formally convene local leaders in government, the judiciary, law enforcement, prosecution, non-profits, education, and health care organizations to improve the domestic violence prevention and response system in Bexar County. As we continue to partner across the community in this endeavor, our members are available to provide interviews regarding family violence dynamics, resources, and local laws and processes, such as protective orders, bonds, and firearm surrender policies.

People affected by family violence can find assistance by calling Family Violence Prevention Services, 24/7, at 210-733-8810, or by visiting FVPS.org. Support for children who are victims of abuse is available by calling ChildSafe San Antonio at 210-675-9000 or visiting ChildSafe-sa.org. For an emergency, call or text 911.

Anyone who experiences mental health challenges or emotional distress can call or text the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988.

The CCDV Co-Chairs and some member organizations are available for media interviews regarding family and domestic violence through the contacts listed on this release.
