A dispute outside a Las Vegas banquet hall in the early morning hours of April 13, 2025, ended in deadly gunfire that killed 21-year-old Carlos Garcia Sanchez and 24-year-old Luis Esquivel. The shooting occurred in the parking lot of a business in the 3900 block of East Owens Avenue near Pecos Road; the verbal altercation escalated to gunfire at about 1:31 a.m. Both men were found with gunshot wounds and were pronounced dead at the scene.

Detectives identified and arrested two suspects within days. On April 16, 2025, police booked 24-year-old Julio Bautista-Martinez and 26-year-old Henry Ramirez into the Clark County Detention Center, each charged with two counts of open murder with a deadly weapon. Bautista-Martinez acknowledged the complaint during an initial court appearance; investigators allege both men fired the shots during the confrontation as the party was ending.

Anyone with information about the shooting, the events in the parking lot that night, or either victim is asked to come forward.
