Richard E. Hall, a 63-year-old Caucasian man, was found dead inside a northwest Las Vegas home in the 3000 block of Panama Beach Drive early on July 27, 2015. Officers already in the area for an unrelated call noticed the front door had been kicked wide open and conducted a welfare check about 5:10 a.m., where they discovered Hall’s body. Initial investigators believed he had been shot; the Clark County coroner later ruled the death a homicide from a gunshot wound to the chest.

Hall’s killing was the 61st homicide recorded in the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department’s jurisdiction that year. No public information links any suspect to the scene, and no arrests have been reported. The circumstances of who entered the home and why Hall was killed remain unanswered.
