Jeffrey Boyajian, a 58-year-old man raised in Las Vegas but recently living in Lake Elsinore, California, was shot and killed on August 5, 2019, on Interstate 15 near the Silverado Ranch Boulevard exit. He was driving a Chrysler 300 with a woman in the front passenger seat when a white van pulled up beside them and fired multiple rounds into his chest between 7:30 and 7:40 p.m., killing him. The passenger was unharmed and later reported there had been no apparent provocation.

The suspect’s van had been tailgating Boyajian’s vehicle beforehand. Investigators later found that van near Westmont, about five miles east of Los Angeles International Airport, and transported it back to Las Vegas for forensic examination. No arrest had been announced and the homicide remained under investigation.

Boyajian was a devoted father to a teenage daughter, a longtime casino industry worker, and a Boston Red Sox and New England Patriots fan who took part in charity events. His cousin Lucy Vanecek organized a GoFundMe to help with funeral costs; his elderly mother declined to speak publicly. If anyone has information about the shooting or the white van, please share it with the Las Vegas authorities.
