Herelle’s sister claimed that Torres ended their abusive, physically and emotionally violent relationship a month before Herelle was killed.

Irene spent some of the final months of her young life being abused, degraded, scared, and afraid, Douglas wrote, “when most 24-year-olds are planning their jobs, and futures, and are positive about the world.” Irene bravely left her violent relationship and was thrilled to begin a new life with the support of her family. However, one month later, she was brutally murdered in her front yard after being tracked down there.
