The moment a Las Vegas pastor was shot and killed during a dispute with a neighbor in December was captured on video by one of the victim’s children, according to a wrongful death lawsuit.

Nick Davi, a 46-year-old pastor at Grace Point Church in North Las Vegas, was killed in a shooting on Dec. 29 inside a gated townhome community, allegedly by his female next-door neighbor, Joe Junio, FOX5 Las Vegas reported.

Davi’s wife, Sarah Davi, was also shot during the incident and survived. She has now filed a wrongful death lawsuit.

Court documents obtained by the station revealed that one of Davi’s children, aged 12 to 15, was also present during the shooting and captured their father’s death on cellphone video.

The dispute began when Junio confronted the pastor and his family in front of his home about complaints the family made against her to the homeowner’s association (HOA), according to the documents.

The HOA is accused of telling Junio about the complaints.

“The homeowner’s association knew or should have known that Defendant would likely perform violent actions against deceased and Plaintiff as a result of on-going association dispute,” the lawsuit stated, without naming the HOA.

Davi was remembered as a loving husband, father to two children and a respected member of the community.

“It is with great sorrow that we share the tragic loss of Pastor Nick Davi. Nick was a husband, father, son, brother, pastor, friend, and most importantly, a brother in Christ,” Grace Point Church wrote on Facebook earlier this month.

Davi was remembered for “touching the lives of countless people” during his life, according to a post on a GoFundMe for the family. (Grace Point Church)

A GoFundMe for the family said Davi “touched the lives of countless people.” 

“We are all shocked and saddened by this senseless tragedy,” the post read.
