Carpio, according to her neighbor, was born in the United States but was the daughter of a family of immigrants from Tijuana, Mexico, who came to Beaumont, Texas many years ago, seeking to earn a living to carve out a better future. Rosa, the mother of Liz Carpio, is a very loved and respected woman among the Hispanic community of the city.

Liz Carpio, one more link in a long chain of violence

According to the nonprofit organization National Statistics on Domestic Violence (NCADV), the United States is experiencing a true pandemic of aggression, at various levels, against someone by their partner. Every minute, according to NCADV, 20 people are attacked by their partner in some way, including murder.

In the United States, one in four women and one in nine men are constantly subjected to violent abuse, causing them physical injury, emotion, trauma and anguish for the rest of their lives and even homicide. Women between 18 and 24 years old, almost always in their first serious relationship, are the most vulnerable and who report the most cases every day.

The death of Liz Carpio allegedly at the hands of her ex-partner is within the national context of domestic violence cases. According to the non-profit organization National Domestic Violence Hotline, one in four women in the United States suffers from an abusive relationship with her partner.

According to that same organization, every minute an average of 24 people, men and women, suffer some type of violence, rape, harassment and intimidation by their partners.

The organization explains that there are different types of domestic violence and that the victim must learn to identify them, as in the case of Liz Carpio, before the tragedy.

According to the National Domestic Violence Helpline, according to its information in Spanish, it explains that anyone has the right to turn off their phone to be able to spend time with their family and friends without these activities having to anger their partner and no one can control someone else’s time even if they are married.
