"The tragic story of an apparent murder-suicide in San Francisco's Westwood Park neighborhood earlier this week gained some details on Thursday, and we now know that the perpetrator of the murders appears to have been the mother. A string of failed businesses, a home that was forced into a foreclosure sale, and mounting debt appear to have been factors leading 53-year-old Paula Truong to end the lives of her children and husband, before taking her own life."
"Prior to moving to Westwood Park and having children, the couple appears to have owned a building on 24th Street in the Mission, living in an apartment upstairs and leasing the ground-floor restaurant space to Wise Sons Deli as Wise Sons' Evan Bloom tells the SF Standard. In recent years, a coffeeshop business that was launched by Truong, Orbit Coffee, specializing in Vietnamese iced coffee, had shuttered all of its locations."
An apparent murder-suicide in San Francisco's Westwood Park resulted in the deaths of 57-year-old Thomas "TR" Ocheltree, daughters Alexandra and Mackenzie Ocheltree, and 53-year-old Paula Truong, who appears to have been the perpetrator. Financial strain from failed businesses, a foreclosure sale, and mounting debt appear to have contributed. The couple previously owned a Mission building and leased space to Wise Sons Deli. Truong launched Orbit Coffee, which later shuttered, and converted a 2020 Monterey Boulevard purchase into a high-end liquor and wine store that closed in 2023. Former associates described Truong as driven; loans exceeded $2.7 million by 2019.
