Joshua Allen Fordham, 51, of Fontana, California, was shot and killed in the garage of his Winter Night Court home on April 1, 2025, shortly after returning from his job as a nurse at a local hospital. Authorities were called for reports of gunfire just before 4 p.m. and found Fordham with a fatal gunshot wound.

The suspect was identified as Fordham’s father-in-law, 83-year-old Richard Allen Parker, who surrendered to police without resistance and was taken into custody. Neighbors reported loud arguments and altercations between Fordham and his wife in the days before the shooting; some neighbors said Fordham had once pushed his wife to the ground while she carried groceries. Aerial footage after the incident showed multiple police vehicles and yellow tape at the scene while investigators interviewed witnesses and searched for evidence. Officials said there was no ongoing threat to the public and the investigation remained active.

Does anyone have information about the family dynamics or the days leading up to April 1 that could help investigators?
