TL;DR Summary

Gonzalez had obtained an order of protection against Alvarez, but he never received it. The order granted Gonzalez exclusive access to their home and banned Alvarez from making contact with her. Two weeks later, Alvarez shot his wife and daughter, also injuring his son. Alvarez, who had a revoked firearm owner's identification card, was charged with two counts of murder, one count of attempted murder, and one count of aggravated battery by discharging a firearm.
