Robert Sanchez was 19 and attending a party near the 4600 block of Elk Springs Avenue in Las Vegas on November 11, 2012, when an argument in the parking lot escalated into violence. During the brawl a firearm was produced and Sanchez was struck by a single gunshot wound. He was taken to University Medical Center but died of his injuries. Another person at the fight suffered a non-life-threatening stab wound and was treated and released.

Las Vegas police opened a homicide investigation and interviewed witnesses at the scene, but the initial probe did not immediately identify a suspect or suspects. The case remained under active investigation while Sanchez’s family coped with the loss of a young life.

If anyone was at that party or has information about the altercation near Elk Springs Avenue on November 11, 2012, please come forward.
