Years before Delfina Perez Chilel was found stabbed to death , court documents show that she was a victim of repeated domestic violence.
According to court documents, in 2016, her husband, Victor Chavez, "was charged with Aggravated Battery on a Pregnant Female after he stuck his girlfriend with the blade of a knife while she was 7 months pregnant."
The case was dropped after the "victim did not want to prosecute the defendant."
In 2017, Chavez was once again charged with domestic battery, but once again, the case was not prosecuted, "due to the failure of the witness to appear."
Fast forward to Nov. 12 when the couple now had a 9-year-old and an 8-year-old.
