Kevin Alexander, 38, was shot and later died after an attack at his southeast Las Vegas apartment complex on the night of December 11, 2017. Officers say a man who appeared to be wearing body armor fired into Alexander’s unit from outside; when Alexander tried to flee by jumping from an exterior stairway he was shot twice and taken to a hospital where he died. The coroner ruled the death a homicide.

Detectives described the assailant as a Black male about 5 feet 6 inches tall and roughly 140 pounds, wearing body armor. A police lieutenant at the scene said investigators believed the shooting might be narcotics related. Police reported the shooter had not been found in the immediate aftermath and early coverage did not announce an arrest.

If anyone was in the area of the 4600 block of Vegas Valley Drive near Nellis Boulevard that night or has information about the suspect, please share what is known with investigators.
