Jeremy Peterson, 45, was shot and killed inside his home on Tampa Court in a West Valley neighborhood of Las Vegas on December 28, 2024. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department quickly focused the investigation on a family member after deputies responded to the scene.

Police took Peterson’s 15-year-old son, Lincoln Peterson, into custody in connection with the fatal shooting. Reports say the confrontation began during an argument about the teenager’s poor grades and a restriction on his access to electronic devices, which escalated into the deadly violence.

Anyone who knew Jeremy or has information about the case is asked to come forward.
