Desiree Leandra Gonzalez was 27 when she was found dead with her two young children and her boyfriend in a South Anchorage home on May 13, 2015. A family member entered the residence through a window after no one answered the door and discovered all four victims; each had sustained gunshot wounds. Police described the scene as an isolated domestic incident with no sign of an outside intruder.

Within days investigators said evidence supported a murder-suicide: 24-year-old Curtis Young III reportedly shot Gonzalez, their 4-year-old son and their 17-month-old daughter, then died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Detectives processed the scene, interviewed family and friends, and the medical examiner conducted autopsies; police said the investigation would remain open pending lab results but that no other suspect was being sought. Community memorials and obituaries later honored Gonzalez and the children.

If anyone knew this family or has information about what led to that day, please share what can help explain what happened.
