Hector Antonio Lemus-Flores, 45, was shot dead while arriving for an early morning service at Iglesia La Luz del Mundo on Cedar Avenue in Las Vegas. On October 16, 2017, shortly after 5:30 a.m., fellow parishioners heard a gunshot and found him beside his 1998 Isuzu Rodeo with a gunshot wound to the chest; his Bible lay about 10 feet from his body. He was taken to University Medical Center’s trauma unit and died about 6:15 a.m. He was a father of two, a mechanic and active in door-to-door Christian witnessing.

Investigators initially considered a robbery, noting the driver’s side door was open. Over a year later detectives developed a suspect, Artavius Robinson, then 20, after an associate said Robinson confessed, believing Lemus-Flores had cocaine. An inmate told police Robinson described approaching Hector, pointing a gun and firing when Hector reached for a tool. Robinson reportedly left Las Vegas and changed his appearance; he denied involvement in multiple police interviews.

Did anyone who attended early services at that church that morning or knew Hector see anything that could help clarify what happened?
