Nicole Biewener, a 23-year-old resident of Covina, California, tragically lost her life on February 19, 2017. The incident occurred in a double homicide that also claimed the life of Lynda Fick, the mother of the suspect, Lucas Fick. According to reports, Lucas Fick, who lived with his mother, carried out the shooting at their home. Nicole Biewener, who was identified as Lucas Fick's recent girlfriend, was pronounced dead at the scene alongside Lynda Fick.
The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner's records confirmed that Nicole died from gunshot wounds.
The case quickly drew significant attention due to the nature of the crime and the relationship between the victims and the suspect. Lucas Fick was arrested and charged with the murders of Nicole Biewener and his mother, Lynda Fick.

The motive behind the killings was not immediately clear, but it was noted that Lucas Fick had a history of mental health issues, which may have played a role in the tragic events.
In the aftermath of the murders, a wrongful death lawsuit was filed by the families of the victims against Lucas Fick and the estate of Lynda Fick. The lawsuit sought to hold them accountable for the deaths of Nicole Biewener and Donovan Joseph Ramirez, another victim who was also shot during the incident. The legal proceedings have been ongoing, with various motions and hearings taking place to address the claims made by the plaintiffs. The case has highlighted the devastating impact of domestic violence and the importance of addressing mental health issues to prevent such tragedies in the future.
