Shaun Paul Griffith, 45, was fatally shot at his Apple Valley home on July 7, 2024. Deputies responded around 11:25 a.m. to the 13500 block of Bordeaux Court and found Griffith with a gunshot wound; family members and neighbors had been administering aid. He was taken to a local hospital and pronounced dead.

Investigators say Griffith’s ex-girlfriend, 46-year-old April Green of Fullerton, arrived at his residence and an altercation occurred that ended with the shooting. Green fled but was arrested shortly afterward near Apple Valley Road and Sitting Bull Road and booked into the High Desert Detention Center on suspicion of murder, held without bail.

Griffith worked as a nurse and is survived by his sons Nicholas and Dominic. A GoFundMe has been set up to help with funeral expenses and support his sons. If anyone has information about the events that day or knew Shaun, please come forward.
