In the early morning hours of October 8, 2016, 5-month-old Izayah Pelaez-Daniel was found unresponsive in a southwest Las Vegas apartment on the 9000 block of Tropicana Avenue and taken to Summerlin Hospital Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. The Clark County coroner later determined the cause of death to be blunt force head trauma, and his death was ruled a homicide.

Child Protective Services records show the family had been the subject of at least six CPS investigations in the years before 2016; those earlier inquiries were recorded as unsubstantiated. The Metropolitan Police Department opened an investigation and the case was referred to the Clark County District Attorney’s Office for review. Reports following the homicide ruling did not specify any arrests or name any suspects, and the investigation remained ongoing.

If anyone has information about Izayah, his household, or events in that apartment in early October 2016, please share what is known with investigators.
