A workplace dispute at a self-storage facility in Covina ended in homicide on the afternoon of Sunday, November 2, 2025. Patricia Villa, 44, a Hispanic woman who had worked for more than five years at One Stop Storage on North Barranca Avenue, was fatally shot multiple times during a confrontation with a tenant, identified as 66-year-old Juan Nava. Family members who had not heard from Villa went to the facility and discovered her; she died at about 5:30 p.m., though she was not formally pronounced dead at the scene until early Monday morning.

Police identified Nava as the suspect and arrested him at his home on Monday. Authorities reported finding multiple assault rifles and ammunition there; Nava was booked on suspicion of murder and held on $2 million bail. Villa lived in Alhambra and is survived by her partner, a 19-year-old son, and a 16-year-old daughter.

Does anyone who knew Patricia or who was at or near the storage facility that Sunday have information that could help clarify what happened?
