John Vounas was 45 when he was shot dead in downtown Las Vegas in the early morning hours of Wednesday, February 3, 2016. Officers from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department found him at about 2:40 a.m. lying outside an apartment building at the Olive Apartments, 2300 Olive Street, with multiple gunshot wounds; the Clark County Coroner’s Office ruled the death a homicide.

Police canvassed the area for witnesses and evidence and investigated the scene, but no motive was reported and no suspects were publicly identified or arrested in connection with the killing. The case remains an open homicide investigation, and the loss left family and friends without answers.

Anyone who knew John, was in the Olive Street area that night, or has information that could help the investigation is asked to come forward.
