Nicole Wanda Lynn Davis, 45, and her husband, Joshua Lee Davis, 45, were found fatally shot in the basement apartment they rented on Hanson Grove Court in Manassas, Virginia, on October 13, 2024. A welfare check at the residence led authorities to discover both bodies.

Investigators say the killings followed a violent incident elsewhere in the same house involving 49-year-old Amandeep Singh, who allegedly held two female family members at gunpoint, physically assaulted one and attempted to strangle the other; those women escaped without being shot. Authorities believe Singh then went to the couple’s basement apartment and shot Nicole and Joshua Davis. The couple reportedly was not involved in the earlier domestic altercation.

Singh fled to New Jersey, where local authorities located and took him into custody. He has been charged with two counts of murder and with crimes tied to the prior domestic incident, including abduction and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, and was awaiting extradition to Virginia.

Nicole Davis is remembered by family as loving, fond of nature and cooking, and as the mother of two daughters and grandmother of three; readers with information are asked to come forward.
