"Cox did not live at the residence. While standing outside, Cox yelled into the home, investigators wrote in the declaration. The front door was open, but a locked security door separated him from the people inside. After being ignored, Cox broke a front window. Lucas opened the door to confront him. Cox then forced his way inside the home, where a physical altercation occurred, according to the declaration."
"Investigators wrote that Lucas then went to her purse, which was on a couch in the living room, and retrieved a handgun, chambering a round. Cox exited the home and walked toward his car, a black Nissan Sentra, which was parked in the driveway, the declaration said. Lucas followed him outside. He was walking backward toward the car and was either standing next to it or getting inside when Lucas, who was on or near the front porch, fired one shot, according to the declaration."
Nine months after the shooting, Teesha Lucas was arrested and charged with voluntary manslaughter in Moreno Valley. Investigators found that on April 19, 2025, Xavier Cox arrived at his mother's residence after repeatedly calling. Cox broke a front window and forced his way inside, leading to a physical altercation in which he pushed another adult and threw that person's phone into the yard. Lucas retrieved a handgun from her purse, chambered a round, followed Cox outside, and fired one shot as he was near his parked car. Evidence indicated Cox had no weapon and trajectory analysis suggested he was seated in the driver's seat when shot. He was pronounced dead at a hospital.
