Rebecca Grogan Hicks, 24, of Taylorsville, North Carolina, died on April 6, 2006, as a victim of domestic violence. Her death was counted among 79 domestic violence homicides in North Carolina that year, a figure cited by the North Carolina Coalition Against Domestic Violence.

The state legislature responded in 2006 by taking steps to strengthen enforcement of protective orders and increase funding for local domestic violence programs; those reforms were presented as aimed at preventing further deaths like Rebecca’s.
