Our hearts go out to the family and friends of Martha (Monica) Sianez-Hernandez, who was found dead last Friday, apparently killed by her husband, Jose Gallegos, who also died Friday night. While the police investigation is ongoing, what we do know for certain is that Monica’s two children are now parentless, her friends and family are grieving, and the community is once again facing the devastation of domestic violence.
SPAN is working with our community partners to provide support to those impacted by Monica’s death. If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, or if you are in need of support in light of this recent tragedy, please contact the SPAN confidential 24/7 crisis line at 303-444-2424 or hotline@safehousealliance.org.
We will have additional statements once more information is known. For now, we ask the community to hold Monica’s children and her family and friend close to heart.
