Nicole Lynn Lester Blahitka, known as Nikki, was 49 when she was killed in Fort Worth, Texas. Her death was ruled a murder after an incident on December 29, 2016; Nikki’s body was found the next morning by her housekeeper and son. She was remembered as a community-minded businesswoman who managed Lon Smith Roofing, the company her father started, and as a devoted mother, daughter, sister and friend.

Police arrested Nikki’s boyfriend, Joshua Henry, and an affidavit says he admitted to shooting her in the head and shoulder with a .40 caliber Glock during an argument, claiming Nikki grabbed the weapon. Investigators cited Henry’s confession along with security logs and witness statements as key evidence; reports also describe a volatile on-and-off relationship between Henry and Nikki that had contributed to Nikki’s divorce from her ex-husband, Mark Blahitka.

Who knew Nikki or her routine in Fort Worth and can provide information about that night or the people involved?
