Louise Abraham, 34, was fatally shot on September 23, 2019, at the Santa Fe Apartments on South Union Avenue in Bakersfield, California. She and her brother, Carlos Abraham, were both found with fatal gunshot wounds after a ShotSpotter activation and a subsequent 911 call; officers arrived to find the siblings deceased. Louise’s three children were present during the shooting but were not physically harmed.

Investigators arrested Louise’s husband, Moris Matauto Gilmete, following a brief police chase that ended in a collision on Highway 178. Officers recovered a firearm in his vehicle that was believed to be the weapon used in the shooting. Family testimony at trial described prior incidents of domestic violence, and the night of the killings reportedly began after Gilmete had been drinking with family and neighbors and an argument escalated.

The case left Louise’s children and extended family grieving, including relatives in Micronesia, her place of origin. If anyone knew Louise, Carlos, or the family and has information that could add to the record, please share what is known.
