Joe Junio, a 36-year-old real estate agent, is in the news as he faces felony charges in connection with the brutal murder of 46-year-old pastor Nick Davie. The incident occurred on December 29, 2023, and led to a wrongful death lawsuit filed against Junio by the victim's widow, Sarah Davi.
In this tragic incident, Grace Point Church's esteemed pastor, Nick Davey, was fatally shot and his wife Sarah was also injured. The couple's children, aged 15 and 12, were at the scene and recorded the horrifying incident on their mobile phones.
The lawsuit alleges that growing tensions between the Davi family and Junio fueled the deadly conflict. The roots of the dispute date back to a complaint the Davey family filed with their homeowners association (HOA) regarding Junio's alleged violations regarding chickens and dogs.

Junio, a licensed real estate agent in Nevada, reportedly harassed, threatened and otherwise harassed and threatened the Davey family after they reported the matter to the HOA. The family had sought police intervention twice in the month before the shooting, citing allegations of harassment by Junio.
