A horrifying incident unfolded in Las Vegas as Grace Point Church pastor, Nick Davi, 46, was fatally shot in front of his family on December 29, 2023.
The tragic event occurred following a heated feud with his neighbor, Joe Junio, 36, over chickens and dogs on her property.
The dispute had escalated over several weeks, with Junio allegedly harassing the Davi family by throwing feces in their backyard, flooding their home, and issuing threats after the family complained to the homeowner’s association of the gated community they resided in.
According to reports, Junio’s harassment took a sinister turn when she allegedly made threatening gestures towards the Davi family, including running her finger across her throat in a cutting motion, indicating they were next.

The tension reached its breaking point when the Davi family encountered Junio as they were leaving their home.
Pastor Davi approached Junio to address the ongoing issues when Junio opened fire, fatally wounding him and injuring his wife, Sarah Davi.
In a harrowing twist, Sarah Davi managed to disarm Junio after a struggle, preventing further harm. The couple’s children, aged 12 and 15, reportedly witnessed the horrific incident from inside their family car.
In the aftermath, Sarah Davi filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Junio, seeking justice for her husband’s murder and holding the homeowner’s association accountable for failing to address the escalating situation.
Junio, who did not possess a firearm license or permit, faces charges including open murder with a deadly weapon, attempted murder, and child abuse.
Despite the tragic loss, the Grace Point Church community came together to honor Pastor Davi’s memory in a memorial service.
This heartbreaking incident serves as a grim reminder of the devastating consequences of unresolved conflicts and the importance of addressing community disputes peacefully and promptly.
