Summary
Contra Costa County prosecutors say Thomas John Iovenitti, 40, fatally stabbed his wife, Alisha Iovenitti, 39, at their Concord home after being released on bail in a separate domestic violence case.
A judge had set bail at $1,000 days after his May arrest and ordered him to stay away from his wife and the family residence, according to the district attorney's office.
Concord police responded to a 911 report of a knife-armed domestic disturbance just after 8 p.m. on Oct. 23, forced entry, and found both adults with multiple stab wounds; Alisha died at the scene.
Iovenitti is now being held without bail, faces charges tied to both cases, and could receive 29 years to life if convicted; his next court appearance is Thursday.
Three children — 9-year-old twins and a 10-year-old son — are now in the care of relatives and close friends, underscoring the case's wider family toll.
