Tragedy struck in Honolulu, Hawaii, as influencer Theresa Cachuela, aged 33, was reportedly killed by her ex-husband in a horrifying incident at a local shopping center, according to TMZ. The couple's young daughter was present at the scene, witnessing the harrowing event.
Cachuela and her daughter were at the center for breakfast when her ex-husband appeared unexpectedly. In a devastating turn of events, he shot Theresa in front of their child before turning the gun on himself.
Upon arrival, the police declared both Theresa and her ex-husband deceased, treating the case as a murder-suicide. The incident has sent shockwaves through the community, highlighting grave concerns about domestic violence.
Weeks prior to her untimely death, Theresa had filed for a restraining order against her ex-husband following his suicide threat with a knife while their daughter was nearby. The couple had agreed to a one-year no-contact order, part of which required him to surrender his firearms.
In the aftermath of the murder, Theresa's family has initiated a fundraising campaign to cover funeral expenses. Her mother expressed profound grief: "My daughter didn't deserve this. She tried so hard to get help, but the legal system failed her. We are utterly devastated by the loss of our beloved." The tragedy underscores the ongoing issue of domestic violence and the need for more effective protective measures.
