Deadly domestic violence cases are searing the headlines in the DMV. Last week, 29-year-old Remi Howell was shot multiple times and her body left in a wooded area near a church in Landover. Marcus Mitchell, a man she dated, is charged with her murder. Just days before, 32-year-old passion pleasant of Northeast DC was found shot multiple times and stabbed on I-295. Her boyfriend, 30-year-old Gregory Johnson is charged with her murder. What is going on? What triggers a perpetrator to commit this kind of violence?
