Kristine Meza was killed by her ex-boyfriend in 2011. Now her mother hopes to continue her daughter’s legacy of helping people.
“By sharing her story, we’re hoping to prevent lives being lost. People can get help. Not just the victim, but the abuser,” said Laura Acevedo, Meza’s mother.
Shelter officials said it’s important to remember that anyone can be affected by domestic violence.
