Richard Joseph Harper, 63, was fatally shot at his home in Saint George, Utah on November 30, 2022. The shooting occurred after a dispute involving one of his tenants, Joel Curtis Flores, 43. A woman visiting Flores signaled she wanted to see him less; Flores allegedly pointed a handgun at her chest. Harper intervened and the woman escaped into Harper’s house, where Harper and his 17-year-old daughter were present.

While the woman called emergency services, Flores fired roughly 12 shots through a glass door into the residence. Harper was struck and killed. Police arrested Flores at the scene; he was charged with murder. A jury later convicted Flores of murder and felony discharge of a firearm, and a judge imposed consecutive sentences requiring him to serve at least 20 years to life.

If anyone knew Harper or witnessed events near his home that night, does that person have information to share with investigators?
