Police Investigate Possible Homicide After Four Found Dead in San Francisco Home
Stunning Tragedy Unfolds in Westwood Highlands: Police Investigate Mysterious Deaths
Details Emerge in Westwood Highlands Incident
In a shocking event that has left the Westwood Highlands community reeling, police are investigating the tragic discovery of four bodies found in a home on 930 Monterey Blvd. The incident occurred on Wednesday, with two of the deceased reported to be children.
Investigation by San Francisco Police and Fire Departments
Responding officers arrived at the scene to find the victims unresponsive, with Fire Department officials confirming no additional individuals were present in the home. Emergency responders were called to the scene at 1:25 p.m. for medical assistance but could not confirm the ages or genders of the victims.
Property Ownership and Financial Strain
The home, once owned by Thomas “T.R.” Ocheltree and Paula Truong, had undergone significant financial challenges. Originally purchased for $1.35 million in 2014, the couple faced mortgage default in February 2024, leading to a foreclosure and subsequent public auction.
Local Business Ventures and Community Connections
Ocheltree and Truong were known in the community for their ownership of the Monterey Deli and Orbit Coffee, which previously had multiple locations in Oakland. However, the deli has since closed, adding to the family’s recent struggles.
On-going Police Investigation: No Public Threat
The San Francisco Police Department’s Homicide Detail is conducting a thorough investigation, although the incident has not been classified as a homicide. Police officials have ensured there is no overarching threat to the public.
Community Reflections on a Quiet Family
The neighbors describe the family as typical and unremarkable in their suburban lifestyle. Belinda Hanart, a three-year resident next door, recalls hearing the children play in the garden. Recent changes in the family’s visibility had sparked curiosity among neighbors, yet nothing seemed amiss.
Neighborhood Shock and Stability
Longtime resident Mary Taylor, living nearby for 60 years, attested to the peaceful nature of the neighborhood, citing only minor incidents like package thefts. This unfolding situation disrupts the otherwise calm and safe image of Westwood Highlands.
This story is developing, and updates are expected as the investigation progresses.
