The Anaheim Hills community is reeling with heartbreak and disbelief after the tragic deaths of Allison Guerra and Tony Guerra, a married couple whose lives came to a sudden and devastating end in what authorities are investigating as a murder-suicide.
On the evening of Thursday, May 8, 2025, officers with the Anaheim Police Department were dispatched to the couple’s residence in the 300 block of South Henning Way at approximately 6:00 p.m. following reports of a welfare check. Upon arrival, police discovered both Allison and Tony deceased inside their home. A firearm was located at the scene.
Preliminary findings from the investigation suggest that Tony Guerra fatally shot his wife Allison before taking his own life, according to reports from The Orange County Register.
