Jared Medina, a 24-year-old Hispanic man, was found dead on a Las Vegas sidewalk on the morning of January 5, 2017. First responders initially thought a drug overdose because there were no obvious signs of trauma, but an autopsy the next day revealed he had been shot in the back, and the case was ruled a homicide.

Police established that Jared had been in a physical altercation with an unidentified person between about 1 a.m. and 3 a.m. that night. He was known to frequent the area near Lexington Street and Lawry Avenue and may have been looking for a cigarette when he was shot. Investigators released surveillance footage of him walking in the neighborhood but struggled to develop witnesses or leads. No suspects have been publicly identified or arrested.

Jared played drums in a local band called The Offcolor, which included his sister. His mother, brother, sister and young daughter sought answers after his death. If anyone saw Jared in the Lexington and Lawry area that night or has information about the altercation, can you help the family and investigators?
