Now, Martez Hurt’s family is heading to Texas from Washington, D.C. to retrieve his body. This past March, Fort Bend County deputies received three domestic violence calls concerning Jacobs and his unnamed ex-wife, officials said. Their emergency shelters are currently full due to social-distancing, but they are providing hotel accommodations to domestic violence survivors. Domestic violence survivors are urged to call the 24/7 emergency hotline for help at 281-342-HELP.
