On the late afternoon of August 15, 2015, 28-year-old Hispanic man Jairo Garcia was shot and killed in the east valley of Las Vegas. Officers found Garcia inside a white 1990s GMC Yukon in the 3900 block of East Owens Avenue with multiple gunshot wounds; the Clark County coroner later listed the cause of death as a gunshot wound to the left side of his body. A gun was also found inside the vehicle. He was taken to University Medical Center but died of his injuries.

Police described the incident, about 4:30 p.m., as a shootout and quickly suspected a gang-related motive, noting Garcia had gang-related tattoos, though no definitive motive was announced. Witnesses reported a chaotic exchange of gunfire between Garcia’s Yukon and a silver or gray 2015 Chrysler 200 occupied by two Hispanic men, one with long hair worn in a ponytail. The Chrysler fled and was later found abandoned with bullet holes. The two occupants remained at large and authorities asked the public for help.

If anyone remembers seeing the Chrysler 200, the two men who fled, or activity in the 3900 block of East Owens Avenue that afternoon, please share what you know.
