Mother Survives Burn Attack, Daughter Killed | Las Vegas News

A Las Vegas mother is fighting for her life in a burn unit after her boyfriend allegedly attacked her with a blowtorch and shot her—killing her 15-year-old daughter, Aven Nyelle—in a horrific domestic violence incident. The boyfriend, Jason Simmons, barricaded himself in the home during the attack, leading to a deadly standoff that left one officer wounded. Simmons later died by apparent suicide. Nichole’s workplace condemned the violence as “terrible, unjustified acts,” while her surviving daughters stand by her side. A GoFundMe has been launched to cover funeral costs, medical bills, and pet care as the community rallies around the grieving family.
