“I am deeply saddened by the death of Ms. Duran, and for her three children who are now without their mother,” said District Attorney Bragg. “These utterly horrific allegations demonstrate how quickly intimate-partner violence can turn fatal – particularly when there is a gun in the home. Time and again, we see that the most dangerous time in a relationship is when a woman attempts to leave. I urge anyone who needs assistance to contact our office by contacting our Intimate-Partner & Sexual Violence Bureau at 212-335-4308.”
