In a tragic turn of events on February 20, 2017, Iveth Susana Chavez, a 33-year-old Hispanic female, lost her life in her Phoenix, Arizona, home. The residence, located near 63rd Avenue and Lower Buckeye Road, became the scene of a horrifying incident that unfolded in the presence of her four children.
That day, an argument erupted between Iveth and her 34-year-old husband, Oliver Olague-Acosta.
The couple's children, ranging in age from one to fifteen, were at home and witnessed the verbal altercation. The dispute escalated tragically, culminating in the sound of gunshots, which prompted one of the children to bravely call 9-1-1 for help.
Upon their arrival, Phoenix police officers attempted to make contact with the individuals inside the home. When their calls went unanswered, they made the difficult decision to force entry by breaking a front window. Once inside, they made a devastating discovery: the bodies of both Iveth Chavez and Oliver Olague-Acosta.
The ensuing investigation by law enforcement painted a grim picture of the events that had transpired. It was determined that Oliver Olague-Acosta had shot and killed his wife, Iveth, before turning the weapon on himself in a murder-suicide. The motive for this violent act remains unclear, leaving friends and neighbors in a state of shock and disbelief. Those who knew the family reported that they had not observed any outward signs of trouble that would suggest such a tragic outcome was possible. In the wake of this devastating loss, the couple's four children were physically unharmed and were placed in the care of local family members.
