Authorities and relatives say a Las Vegas lawyer and his wife were fighting to win custody of her children from a previous marriage when the woman’s former father-in-law, also an attorney, fatally shot them during a deposition hearing in the case.

Paul and Julie Page speak to reporters in Las Vegas on Monday, April 15, 2024, while a photo of their daughter Ashley Prince is projected behind them on a screen. Their daughter and her husband, lawyer Dennis Prince, were shot and killed by another attorney on April 8, 2024, during a deposition hearing in an ongoing custody fight for her two young children from a previous marriage.

At a news conference Monday, Ashley Prince's parents said their daughter was previously married to Houston’s son and had been trying for years to gain sole custody of two their children. Houston, a lawyer in Nevada since 1974, had been representing his son in the custody battle, court records show. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, which is investigating the shooting, didn't immediately respond Monday to a request for comment on the family's statement.
