In the early hours of April 27, 2016, 27-year-old Merral Stowe was found wounded inside his running Nissan Altima at the Shadow Ridge Apartment Homes on Arville Street in Las Vegas. He was taken to University Medical Center and died there of multiple gunshot wounds to the head. A gun belt he was wearing had an empty holster. Stowe’s family said he had a young daughter and raised funds to fly his body back to the Virgin Islands for burial.

Investigators later recovered handprints on Stowe’s car that the FBI matched to Percellus Jones, who was 15 at the time of the slaying. In 2019 Jones, while in custody in California on unrelated charges, gave conflicting statements: first denying knowledge, then saying he had been drinking in Stowe’s car when an unidentified shooter opened fire, striking Stowe and allegedly attempting to shoot Jones before the gun jammed. In November 2021 Jones, then 21, was extradited from Southern California to Las Vegas to face a murder charge and was held without bail.

Does anyone have information about Stowe’s movements that night or the people who were at the Shadow Ridge Apartments?
