Tiyona M. McCladdie was 25 when she was killed in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas on the night of February 28, 2016. Known as Tai, she had moved to Las Vegas at age twelve and hoped to be a model. Around 1:50 a.m. she was in a car with a male companion near South Decatur Boulevard and Evergreen Avenue when a dark vehicle pulled alongside and an occupant opened fire.

Tiyona was struck in the head and pronounced dead at the scene; the male passenger was wounded and taken to University Medical Center in stable condition. The car Tiyona was in rolled over a median after the shooting and the suspect vehicle fled. The investigation remains open and no arrests or public identifications of suspects have been announced.

If anyone knew Tiyona, saw activity near South Decatur and Evergreen that night, or has information that could help, please come forward.
