Who is Joe Junio? All about the Las Vegas realtor accused in the brutal slaying of neighbor

A 36-year-old realtor, Joe Junio, is in the news as she is facing serious charges in connection with the brutal slaying of 46-year-old Pastor Nick Davi. The incident occurred on December 29, 2023, and led to a wrongful death lawsuit filed by the victim's widow, Sarah Davi, against Junio.

Pastor Nick Davi, a respected figure at Grace Point Church, was fatally shot, and his wife Sarah was wounded during the tragic incident. The couple's 15-year-old and 12-year-old children, who were at the scene, recorded the horrifying event on their phones.

The lawsuit alleges that escalating tensions between the Davi family and Junio fueled the deadly confrontation. The roots of the conflict traced back to complaints filed by the Davi family to their homeowners' association (HOA) regarding Junio's alleged violations related to chickens and dogs.

The court documents reveal a series of disturbing events leading up to the fatal shooting. Junio, a licensed real estate agent in Nevada, reportedly engaged in threatening behavior, including harassment and threats, after the Davi family reported her to the HOA. The family had sought police intervention twice in the month preceding the shooting due to Junio's alleged harassment.
