A Sparks man convicted of shooting his fiancée in the face and beating his landlord faces up to 60 years in prison when he's set to be sentenced on August 19th.
The Washoe County District Attorney's Office says a jury convicted Wacey John Chabot of Attempted Murder, Domestic Battery with the Use of a Deadly Weapon causing Substantial Bodily Harm, and Battery with the Use of a Deadly Weapon.
Prosecutors say in January 2023, Sparks Police responded after one of the victims called 911 to say a woman had been shot. When they got on scene, they found Chabot who repeatedly refused to listen to officers, so they eventually TAZED him.
They say they then found the fiancée with nose and jaw injuries along with the landlord, who had been hit in the head with a gun.
During the trial, the Deputy District Attorney argued that Chabot intentionally lured both victims back to the property that evening. Prosecutors say Chabot watched them enter a trailer, followed them inside with gun and stated, “all of us are going to die tonight.” Authorities say Chabot then shot his fiancée and hit the landlord over the head with his gun.
Prosecutors say the landlord wrestled the gun away from Chabot and called her help.
The fiancée survived her injuries.
