Las Vegas Metropolitan police said in a press release that on June 25, Andrew Cote, 36, called 911 claiming he shot Mildred Olivo, 71, and Timothy Hanson, 54. Responding officers found Olivo and Hanson deceased and Cote was taken into custody.

While the police statement indicated that both Olivo and Hanson were Cote’s neighbors, Olivo’s relatives told KLAS that Hanson was at Olivo’s residence on June 25 because he was protecting her from Cote. Ten hours before the shooting, Cote and Olivo reportedly had a verbal altercation which entailed Olivo spraying Cote and one of his children with a garden hose.

An arrest report stated that Cote told police that he was “in fear” when he shot Olivo and Hanson, who was yelling at him. Police said Cote shot Hanson a second time — in the head — after noticing he was still moving, according to the Las Vegas Sun.

Cote’s daughter had reportedly snuck outside during the deadly dispute. Instead of getting his daughter and defusing the situation, Cote allegedly retrieved a shotgun from his home. The Sun reported that after the shooting, Cote and his daughter returned to their home, where Cote called 911.

Police reportedly said the double slaying marked the end of a long-standing grudge between Cote and Olivo. Two neighbors told the news outlet that Cote often yelled for Olivo to put her clothes on as she bathed in her backyard hot tub. Cote eventually put up a privacy fence to separate his and Olivo’s properties.

Police called to the two homes at least seven times this year; and in April, Cote obtained a temporary protective order against Olivo. It’s unclear who called 911 on those instances and how police handled those calls.

Cote allegedly told police that he didn’t call 911 before shooting Olivo and Hanson because officers didn’t reprimand Olivo for spraying him with water hours earlier.

According to Oxygen, Cote is a pastor at the Baptist church Iglesia Bautista de Fe y Amor. A neighbor told the Sun that at one point, Cote invited Olivo to his church.

Cote was charged with two counts of open murder. He remains jailed without bond.

A 38-year-old former pastor in Las Vegas received a life sentence for murdering his elderly neighbor and her friend after a decade-long feud.

Judicial District Court Judge Michelle Leavitt on Wednesday ordered Andrew Martin Cote to serve a sentence of life in prison with the possibility of parole for the 2020 slayings of 71-year-old Mildred Olivo and her 54-year-old friend Timothy Hanson, court records reviewed by Law&Crime show.

A Clark County jury in May found Cote guilty on two counts of first-degree murder. Judge Leavitt credited Cote with 756 days of time served. He will be eligible for parole after serving 56 years.

During his trial, the former pastor at Mountain View Baptist Church took the stand to testify in his own defense, and claimed that he shot Olivo and Hanson, both of whom were unarmed, because he believed they were threatening the life of his 9-year-old daughter, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported. He reportedly reiterated that notion when addressing the court during Wednesday’s sentencing hearing.

“That was my reality on that night when I had to protect my 9-year-old firstborn daughter from a potential loss of life,” Cote reportedly said.

Cote reportedly testified that on the evening of June 25, 2020 he was inside his home when he heard Hanson yelling. Grabbing his 12-gauge shotgun, Cote went to investigate and reportedly discovered his daughter in their yard and Hanson and Olivo on the other side of the fence. Cote reportedly heard Hanson yell “Go get your daddy” at his daughter.

Cote then “aimed his shotgun over the wall separating the two properties, and shot Olivo and Hanson in the head,” the Review-Journal reported. Cote reportedly testified at trial that he had no intention of speaking with Olivo or Hanson prior to fatally shooting them.
