Carlos Lopez-Perez, also identified as Carlos Martin Lopez-Ismeria, was found dead in a vacant lot in a desert area of Las Vegas in the early morning of December 6, 2016. He was 25 years old. Authorities say he had been killed elsewhere and his body was left near the 11200 block of Gillespie Street in south Las Vegas.

The Clark County coroner determined the cause of death was a gunshot wound to the head. Initial difficulties identifying the victim led police to release photos of his tattoos; that appeal helped confirm his identity. His residence was unknown at the time of death.

Police asked the public for information about his movements in the days before he was found. No reports indicate suspects have been publicly identified or that arrests have been made. If anyone knew Carlos, his movements, or has information about what happened to him, please come forward.
