In 2025, over half of Maine’s 18 homicides were linked to domestic abuse, with firearms used in half the cases and many victims known to have endured repeated, unreported abuse.
In 2025, over half of Maine’s 18 homicides were tied to domestic abuse, according to the state’s Domestic Abuse Homicide Review Panel, with stalking, strangulation, and repeated abuse often going unreported.
The report found that firearms were used in half the cases, including by individuals legally barred from owning them, and that most victims’ abuse was known to friends or family, yet few received support.
Advocates urge better pre-trial supervision, stronger laws, and greater public awareness, emphasizing that help is available through Maine’s 24-hour hotline at 1-866-834-HELP.
