Geneva police responded to a fatal domestic violence call at 8 p.m. Thursday in the 2700-block of Emma’s Way.

When officers arrived, they found two people who were pronounced deceased after being taken to local hospitals.

The incident was isolated to the home, and Cota was taken into custody at the scene, officials said.

Both Cota and Damien Chavira lived in the block where the incident occurred, officials said.
