A domestic dispute in a northwest Las Vegas apartment on October 12, 2025 ended in lethal violence when 53-year-old Tia Jurado was shot and killed during an argument with her husband, Christopher Ford. The dispute reportedly stemmed from ongoing relationship problems and disagreements over their shared business. Jurado tried to leave the apartment; when Ford refused to hand over the car keys she threatened to call police and he then retrieved a firearm and shot her multiple times near the front door.

Their adult son, Javeh Ford, was present and was critically wounded by gunfire from his father after the initial shots. Javeh, who was armed, returned fire and wounded Christopher Ford. Police found Jurado unresponsive and she was pronounced dead at the scene; both Christopher and Javeh were taken to University Medical Center with critical injuries. Christopher Ford, 53, was arrested and charged with one count of murder and one count of attempted murder. Javeh’s account that he acted in self-defense was reported as consistent with ballistic and video evidence recovered at the scene.

Does anyone have information about the family or the couple’s business that could shed light on what led to this escalation?
