Domestic Violence victims remembered during vigil and walk

Ten local victims are being remembered during Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

Domestic Violence Solutions hosted a vigil and walk at Paseo Nuevo in Santa Barbara.

They held a moment a silence and red the names of Lilia Munoz, Natalia Morozova, Elyse Marie Erwin, Ranae Marie Ronquillo, Kimberley Lannette Hamilton, Teresa Meza, Angela Laskey, Alexandra Tang, Heidi Nicole Hubecht and Antoinette Raygoza.

Survivors shared their stories too.

Many said they are dealing with the emotions but won’t let the abuse define them.

Rusty’s donated pizza for the event.
