A home in San Francisco where a family of four was found dead last fall has sold for $2.2 million, nearly $700,000 over the initial asking price.
The three-bedroom, two-bath home at 930 Monterey Boulevard in Westwood Highlands, a neighborhood on the west side of the city, was bought on April 15, according to Compass.
The property was listed on March 20 for $1.5 million and only stayed on the market for four days before it was under contract. The buyer's name has not been disclosed.
On October 8, 2025, the bodies of Thomas Ocheltree, 57; his wife, Paula Truong, 53; and their daughters, MacKenzie and Alexandra, 9 and 12, were found inside. Truong's death was ruled a suicide, while the deaths of Ocheltree and his daughters were deemed homicides.
The father and his two girls were discovered dead lying on beds in their respective bedrooms, according to the report from the San Francisco Office of the Chief Medical Examiner.
Ocheltree had been shot twice in the chest and once in the neck. MacKenzie had been shot once in the chest, while Alexandra had been shot twice in the chest.
The medical examiner said Ocheltree had a pistol 'loosely gripped' in his right hand. Truong was found to have hanged herself in the garage, authorities said. Her body had gunshot residue on it, investigators said.
When the autopsy results were first revealed the San Francisco Police Department did not respond to requests for additional information, according to SFGate.

Under California law, sellers generally do not have to notify buyers about a death on the property that happened three years earlier.
Since the deaths at 930 Monterey Boulevard happened last year, the buyers were likely aware of what happened and bought the property anyway.
The Daily Mail reported last November that the family was in a serious financial hole due to their struggling businesses. This coincided with the foreclosure of their home.
The family bought the house for $1.35 million in October 2014, according to public records.
Records filed with the city and county assessor also show that the couple took out a $2.24 million mortgage on the home in March 2022.
In November 2023, Ocheltree and Truong were sent their first notice that they were behind on their mortgage payments. They had an outstanding loan balance of nearly $283,000.
In the preceding years, Truong had used the house as collateral to take out multiple loans valued at well over $3 million, according to The San Francisco Standard.
After getting these loans, the couple bought a deli they reworked into a high-end liquor store that closed down in 2023. Truong also opened four coffee shops, all of which closed the same year.
In the two years after the businesses shut down, the couple continued to owe a substantial amount on their home. The mortgage on the property was transferred to a new lender in March 2025.

As this was unfolding, Truong was being pursued by creditors for thousands of dollars in unpaid credit card bills.
In January 2025, she was sued by Discover Bank in San Francisco Superior Court. The company sought $17,716 from her, according to court records.
In a default judgment in April 2025, Truong was ordered to pay $18,157.26 to Discover, with the judge adding $441 in costs.
Neighbors who spoke to local outlets after the deaths said they were shocked and described the family as friendly but private.
Ocheltree's brother, Robert, was the one who discovered the family dead inside the home and called police. He had tried to contact Ocheltree but couldn't reach him.
Ocheltree, who grew up in Napa, was described in his obituary as 'a wonderful, kind and attentive father'.
His oldest daughter, Alexandra, was a student at AP Giannini Middle School in San Francisco.
'She was a kind, sweet young lady who loved school, arts and crafts and crochet,' the obituary read.
Ocheltree's youngest daughter, MacKenzie, 'loved playing with friends and her beloved puppy, Mango'. She went to Sunset Elementary School, also in San Francisco.
Truong was not mentioned in the obituary.
