Arizona Advocate Pushes for Law After Mother Kills Kids Amid Marital Separation
Police said the suspect texted a threat to her husband before officers found the bodies of two children and her own inside the Phoenix home.
- Late Sunday night, 38-year-old Andrea Davis opened fire on her husband Nolan Davis and a 36-year-old woman at Tailgaters Bar in the 6000 block of West Bell Road in Glendale, striking the woman in the back of the head as she attempted to flee.
- The shooting followed a 12-year marriage that unraveled after discovery of an alleged inappropriate relationship between Nolan and a co-worker last year; friend Amy Bowers alleged the affair 'completely made her lose her mind,' with divorce papers in the works.
- While Glendale officers were on scene, Nolan received text messages from Andrea stating she would harm their children, including a photo showing one child 'bleeding from the head,' according to Glendale Police Department spokesperson Jose Santiago.
- Nolan rushed home to their Phoenix residence two miles away after reporting the messages, but police arrived too late; officers found 10-year-old Austin and 18-month-old Andolan dead alongside Andrea's body, with police believing she shot both children before taking her own life.
- Police confirmed no prior domestic violence history with the family, yet child safety advocate Hope Hooton cited 989 Arizona filicide cases since 2008; Nolan's cousin Felicia Queen defended Andrea as 'a really good mom' as the Alec and Lydia Act advances in the state legislature.
