Kolton Sawyer, 26, was shot and killed in Las Vegas on December 1, 2017 after chasing a man who had just robbed a woman at gunpoint. Sawyer and two friends pursued the fleeing suspect along Rancho Drive near Melody Lane; the suspect turned and fired, striking Sawyer in the neck. His body was later found in the 1900 block of Allen Lane. He was the only one of the three men hit.

Las Vegas Metropolitan Police described the shooter as a Black male about 20 to the early 30s with facial hair, last seen in a black zip-up hooded sweatshirt and black jeans. Investigators released a composite sketch, circulated surveillance footage showing a silhouette running from the scene, and reported the suspect was seen jumping a wall into the Portola Del Sol apartment complex. No public report of an arrest or a named suspect has appeared.

If anyone knew Kolton, witnessed the robbery or chase, or has information about the man who jumped the wall, please come forward.
