40-year-old Ervin Antonio Lupoe shot himself, his wife Ana Lupoe and their five children fatally on January 27, 2009. Before the shootings, Lupoe faxed a letter to a TV station where he claimed he and his wife had been fired and that he was planning to kill his family.CBS 13: LA Man Upset Over Job Kills Wife, 5 Kids, Self (January 27, 2009)
On the day following the murder-suicide, Los Angeles police revealed that Lupoe had been immersed in tens-of-thousands of dollars in debt, owing at least $15,000 to the IRS and thousands more on a separate line of credit. The Lupoe family were in the process of moving to his brother-in-laws home in Kansas. It was also revealed that both Lupoe and his wife had been laid off from their hospital jobs after the couple was investigated for lying about their income to qualify for cheaper child care.Newsweek: LAPD: Dad in family's murder-suicide awash in debt
