On the evening of July 20, 2017, a domestic dispute in central Las Vegas Valley ended with the death of 52-year-old Larry Darnell Richard. An argument between Richard and his girlfriend escalated inside an apartment, and after the woman escaped, the confrontation continued in the parking lot. Another man intervened and became involved in a physical altercation with Richard; that man then shot Richard once in the chest. The wound was fatal and Richard died at the scene.

Responding officers did not immediately arrest the shooter, and investigators indicated the man claimed he may have acted in defense of Richard’s girlfriend. The case was referred to the Clark County District Attorney’s Office for review; there have been no subsequent reports of an arrest. If anyone witnessed the incident or has information about what led up to the shooting, please come forward.
