On February 7, 2023, 31-year-old Jade Talia Guajardo of Pflugerville, Texas, was killed in a domestic violence incident in North Austin. Police records show she called APD earlier that day after her ex-boyfriend, 31-year-old Davonte Fox, allegedly flattened her tire following a drop-off. Officers spoke with her twice that afternoon and gave her a ride from the scene during the first call.

That evening officers responded to another disturbance at a residence on Sweet Melissa Drive. APD later deployed a SWAT team after reports that Guajardo was being held hostage. After prolonged negotiations, officers forced entry shortly after midnight and found Guajardo and Fox in an upstairs room with gunshot wounds. Guajardo was pronounced dead at the scene; detectives concluded Fox had fatally shot her before attempting to take his own life. Fox was transported to a hospital and died two days later.

Guajardo was born November 5, 1991, in Georgetown, Texas, and was remembered by family and friends as a loving mother to two sons, Elijah and Christian, who enjoyed travel, card games, and her radiant smile. Anyone with information about the case is asked to come forward to assist investigators.
