Mother Killed Weeks After Restraining Order
9 Nov
Summary
- Father charged with murder of mother of his three children.
- Restraining order was filed against him months prior.
- Children now cared for by relatives after mother's death.
Three young children are now without their mother following a fatal domestic incident in Concord, California. Their father, Thomas John Iovenitti, 40, has been charged with murder in the death of Alisha Iovenitti, which occurred on October 23. This tragedy follows a May 9 incident where he was arrested for alleged assault with a deadly weapon and other domestic violence charges.
Despite a restraining order and prohibitions against returning to the family home, Alisha was killed at their residence. Concord police discovered both parents with stab wounds upon forcing entry. Alisha was pronounced dead at the scene, while Thomas was hospitalized.
The couple's three children, aged 9, 9, and 10, are currently being cared for by relatives. A GoFundMe campaign has been launched to raise $100,000 for their support, covering housing, counseling, education, and other needs, as their parents' savings are depleted.
Prosecutors have filed additional felony charges related to the May incident, including assault with a deadly weapon and corporal injury to a spouse. Thomas Iovenitti faces a potential sentence of 29 years to life if convicted.
