Pastor’s kids filmed next-door neighbor fatally shooting him in front of home over homeowner association disputes: Lawsuit

The widow of a Nevada pastor is suing her former neighbor for allegedly gunning down her husband in front of her and their juvenile children in December last year — a deadly incident that one of the kids filmed on their cellphone. The lawsuit, filed by Sarah Davi, alleges that 36-year-old Joe Junio was responsible for the wrongful death of 46-year-old Nicholas Davi, a pastor at Grace Point Church in Las Vegas.

Junio was arrested after the deadly incident and charged with one count each of open murder with a deadly weapon, attempted murder with a deadly weapon, two charges of child abuse involving a deadly weapon, and discharging of a firearm where a person might be endangered, court records show. She remains jailed at the Clark County Detention Center as of Tuesday on $300,000 bond, records show.

According to a copy of the filed complaint obtained by Law&Crime, the fatal encounter between the neighbors stemmed from Nicholas Davi filing several complaints against Junio with the homeowners association.

A police report obtained by the Las Vegas Review-Journal provided additional details about the circumstances of the tumultuous relationship among the neighbors.ARTICLE HERE
