A home in San Francisco where a family of four was found dead last autumn has been sold for $2.2 million, nearly $700,000 above its initial listing price. The three-bedroom, two-bathroom property at 930 Monterey Boulevard in the Westwood Highlands neighborhood was purchased on April 15, according to Compass.
The house was listed on March 20 for $1.5 million and remained on the market for only four days before going under contract. The identity of the buyer has not been disclosed.
On October 8, 2025, the bodies of Thomas Ocheltree, 57; his wife Paula Truong, 53; and their daughters, MacKenzie, 9, and Alexandra, 12, were discovered inside. The San Francisco Office of the Chief Medical Examiner ruled Truong's death a suicide, while the deaths of Ocheltree and the girls were classified as homicides.
According to the autopsy report, Ocheltree had been shot twice in the chest and once in the neck. MacKenzie sustained a single gunshot wound to the chest, while Alexandra was shot twice in the chest. The medical examiner noted that Ocheltree had a pistol 'loosely gripped' in his right hand. Truong was found hanged in the garage, and investigators reported gunshot residue on her body.
When the autopsy results were first released, the San Francisco Police Department did not respond to requests for additional information, as reported by SFGate.
Under California law, sellers are generally not required to disclose deaths that occurred on the property more than three years prior. Since the deaths at 930 Monterey Boulevard happened last year, it is likely that the buyers were aware of the tragic events and proceeded with the purchase regardless.
According to The Daily Mail, the family was facing severe financial difficulties due to their struggling businesses, which coincided with the foreclosure of their home. The house was originally purchased for $1.35 million in October 2014, according to public records. In March 2022, the couple took out a $2.24 million mortgage on the property.
In November 2023, Ocheltree and Truong received their first notice of mortgage delinquency, with an outstanding loan balance of nearly $283,000. In the preceding years, Truong had used the home as collateral to secure multiple loans totaling over $3 million, as reported by The San Francisco Standard.
With these loans, the couple bought a deli that they converted into a high-end liquor store, which closed in 2023. Truong also opened four coffee shops, all of which shuttered the same year. In the two years following the business closures, the couple continued to owe a substantial amount on their home. The mortgage was transferred to a new lender in March 2025.
Amid these financial troubles, Truong was pursued by creditors for unpaid credit card bills. In January 2025, Discover Bank sued her in San Francisco Superior Court, seeking $17,716. A default judgment in April 2025 ordered Truong to pay $18,157.26, plus $441 in costs.
Neighbors expressed shock after the deaths, describing the family as friendly but private. Ocheltree's brother, Robert, discovered the bodies and called the police after being unable to reach Thomas.
Ocheltree, who grew up in Napa, was described in his obituary as 'a wonderful, kind and attentive father.' His oldest daughter, Alexandra, attended AP Giannini Middle School in San Francisco and was remembered as 'a kind, sweet young lady who loved school, arts and crafts and crochet.' MacKenzie, who went to Sunset Elementary School, 'loved playing with friends and her beloved puppy, Mango.' Truong was not mentioned in the obituary.
