On September 11, 2015, 25-year-old Aaron Anderson was fatally shot outside Bargain Smokes in the east Las Vegas Valley. The shooting happened about noon in the 5500 block of Boulder Highway near East Tropicana Avenue. Anderson and 32-year-old Alton Bullard Jr. were standing in front of the smoke shop with an unidentified third male when a man entered the business, came back out, exchanged words with them and opened fire. Anderson was pronounced dead at the scene; Bullard was taken to Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center and later died.

Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department homicide detectives later identified the shooter as 32-year-old James Rachal. Rachal was arrested in California on unrelated charges and subsequently taken into custody on outstanding warrants linked to the 2015 shooting. He was booked into the Clark County Detention Center on charges that included conspiracy to commit murder and two counts of murder with a deadly weapon. The motive for the attack remains unknown.

Did anyone who was in that area around noon on September 11, 2015, see anything that could help clarify what led to the shooting?
