The early morning of March 27, 2025, ended with a deadly shooting at Aliante Casino in North Las Vegas that claimed the life of 23-year-old NaOnche Osborne. Osborne, a Black man who had been adopted as a teenager by former Nevada State Senator Pat Spearman, died of multiple gunshot wounds; the Clark County coroner’s office ruled the death a homicide.

Authorities say the suspect, identified as 19-year-old Aerion Warmsley, fled the casino around 4:30 a.m. and allegedly carried out at least three carjackings before a high-speed police pursuit topping 100 miles per hour ended when the vehicle struck a bus stop, critically injuring one person. Warmsley was taken into custody and faces open murder and robbery with a deadly weapon charges; he is being held without bail. Investigators say the homicide may have been preceded by a domestic incident the day before, when Warmsley allegedly sent a threatening text to a woman asking if she wanted to die.

Osborne’s family history includes an October 2022 incident in which he was arrested for shooting and wounding his cousin at his mother’s home and later pleaded guilty to felony battery with a deadly weapon and carrying a concealed firearm. The family described their profound sadness and heartbreak over this loss.
