On the evening of January 18, 2017, 33-year-old Myron Manghum was shot to death in a Las Vegas apartment. Police responding to reports of a man shot found Johnny Brooks with gunshot wounds to both hands; Brooks told officers he had been shot inside a nearby residence. Officers followed a trail of blood to an apartment on the 900 block of West Washington Avenue and discovered the bodies of Manghum and 27-year-old Alyssa Nicole Velasco. The Clark County coroner determined Manghum died from a gunshot wound to the head; Velasco died from gunshot wounds to her head and neck. A third person was seriously wounded but survived.

Investigators say two men had been at the apartment earlier, left, then returned shortly before the shootings; after an argument, Brooks was shot in the hands, played dead, and escaped when the front door opened. Police arrested 31-year-old Durwin Allen on January 23, 2017, and later arrested 31-year-old Terrell Stewart; both were charged with multiple felonies, including murder. Subsequent court developments included a withdrawn death-penalty request, an Alford plea by Allen on second-degree murder, and a guilty plea by Stewart to second-degree murder, with sentencing reported through July 2023.

Is there anyone who knew Myron Manghum or was in that neighborhood that night who can share what they remember?
