Jason Cachuela was later found dead behind a residence, KHON2 reported.
Theresa Cachuela had filed a temporary restraining order against Jason Cachuela, according to Hawaii News Now. The filing said that in addition to threatening and abusing her, Jason Cachuela had threatened suicide, according to People who reviewed the TRO petition.
Part of the order required Jason Cachuela to turn over any weapons he had.
Theresa’s family started a GoFundMe to raise money for her funeral expenses.
“She was coming to have breakfast with me that morning because I wanted to give her and my grandkids their Christmas gifts,” wrote Theresa’s mother in the GoFundMe description. “My daughter did not deserve this. She was trying so hard to get help, but the Justice system failed her. We are so devastated with the loss of our beloved Tita.
The GoFundMe has raised more than $41,000.
