Lantern Project: Since October 2013, Hope House has joined with other domestic violence programs around the state by implementing the Lantern Project. For our part in this statewide project, we added to the lamppost in front of Hope House a purple wreath. We will turn on the light for a week every time there is a death related to domestic violence in Wisconsin. We will post information online about the person(s) that was killed. If you drive by our building and see our lamppost on, please reflect on the deadly impact that domestic violence has on our communities. We know the list of stories we post here is incomplete. We strive to learn about and share these stories but know that there are some that we and the media miss. If you see a news story of a death in WI related to domestic violence and don't see it posted here, please feel free to let us know about it here. Thank you.

Despite the suspect's past criminal history involving violence and drugs, the sisters said his alleged actions were unimaginable.

'No one thought that he would ever harm her in no type of way, so we don't know what was his state of mind was when he did that. She loved him and he loved her, so I don't know what triggered in his head to make it want to hurt her,' Hibbler said...

In tears and full of grief, they said their sister was full of life.

Obituary: "Brian Michael Baldwin, 23, of Kenosha passed away on June 7, 2017. 

Born in Williamsburg, Va., on July 24, 1993. 

He is the son of Glenn A. Baldwin and Mary A. Larson a native of Kenosha. Brian graduated from Tremper High School. He worked a couple jobs in his young life, but mostly the last eight months was with Amazon and before with Greskoviak Rentals for 2.5 years. 

Brian was a wonderful young man, full of promise. A kind, truely chivalrous man filled with empathy and compassion. He had a passion and love for working on Honda Turbo powered cars, and the community of those like him with those same interests. He touched the lives of far more than he and surely even his family could have even imagined, but we arent surpized by that for we knew Brian was someone special. The outpouring and beautiful stories of his kindness, and silly goofy ways, and things he would do just to make someone's day brighter that are flooded across facebook give us moments of peace. He truely was one of 'The Good Guys' on this old earth"...Read more
