Theresas tragic killing came just two weeks after she had taken out a restraining order against Jason.
He threatened to kill her.
The court wasnt there for her.
The system failed her.
And now shes gone.
The court wasnt there for her.
The system failed her.
She has so much faith, this little girl.
She just started praying.
She doesnt believe it.
She doesnt believe her mom is gone.
I dont believe it.
Theresa subsequently filed for divorce, telling relatives she had been abused by her husband.
Lucita said: She wanted to leave him but he wasnt accepting it.
He tried to control her with, with everything … where she would go, what she would do.
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.
This has been so difficult for our family in which we were not prepared for.
Theresa reportedly owned House of Glam Hawaii LLC in Waipahu.
Shes super loving and an amazing woman.
I love her and Im sorry her kids are going through this.
