Nehemiah Neo Kauffman, 20, and his girlfriend Sydney Land, 21, were found shot to death inside their southwest Las Vegas apartment on October 27, 2016. A friend who went to check on them found the front door unlocked and discovered Kauffman unresponsive on the living room floor and Land on the bedroom floor, each shot in the head at close range.

Las Vegas Metropolitan Police investigators reported no signs of forced entry and concluded the victims likely knew their attacker or attackers, and they believed two people were involved. Detectives noted Kauffman had a prior history of burglaries and selling drugs. A person of interest identified early in the investigation was Shane Suga Valentine, a convicted felon and acquaintance of Kauffman; police said Valentine had allegedly shot at Kauffman’s mother’s home about 20 days earlier and that threatening texts from Valentine to Kauffman were recovered. Valentine was publicly named a person of interest but was not charged.

The probe was complicated by allegations of mishandled evidence at the scene and the reported involvement of a local judge concerned that Valentine was trying to lure her daughter into sex trafficking. No arrests have been announced and the double homicide remains unsolved. Did anyone who knew Nehemiah or Sydney notice anyone unusually present around them in October 2016?
